Description

In this episode Matt and marine biologist Quinn chat all about the incredible animal that is the Horseshoe crab. Quinn explains how this unusual seacreature is not a crab at all, but is actually more closely related to scorpions, has unique and medically special blood, and walks a huge distance on the seafloor to lay eggs up on dry land!
