Chinese Horseshoe Crab: The Ancient Tri-Spine Survivor
The Chinese horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus), also known as the tri-spine horseshoe crab, is a fascinating marine creature that has barely changed for 480 million years! Found in East and Southeast Asia, it’s not a crab but more closely related to spiders and scorpions.
This species is the largest living horseshoe crab, with females reaching up to 79.5 cm (31.3 in) in length, including their spiky tails. The name "tri-spine" comes from the three spines on the rear of its shell.
These creatures are omnivores, feeding on worms, mollusks, and algae. Sadly, they are now endangered due to habitat loss and overfishing. A true "living fossil," the Chinese horseshoe crab reminds us of Earth’s ancient history while highlighting the need for conservation today!
