While technically it's not a crustacean but more closely related to spiders and scorpions, this living fossil is quite interesting. Join us as we explore the world of Horseshoe Crabs and learn about the adaptations that make them living fossils.  Meet inside the Big Water Visitor Center located just before the park entrance on Kiptopeke Drive.
