How does a Horseshoe Crab protect itself?
The horseshoe crab protects it's self in the water by burrowing deep into the sand to hide. It also usues it's tail to scare away predators. The shell on top protects the fragile insides, on the underneath of the crab. However, if it is flipped over on it's back, it will use it's telson "tail" by digging it into the sand and flipping itself upright. On land the only way the horseshoe crab can protect itself it by staying right side up. If it is flipped over, it cannot flip itself upright on land, and his body parts will be exposed to predators such as birds, and other land crabs. So if you are walking along a beach and find a horseshoe crab on it's back, give it a hand and flip it over.It protects itself by removing the horseshoe on its feet and creating a layer of armor around it's body. The horseshoe gets damaged in the process and must be discarded but just like the starfish it can regrow it's horseshoes and once again walk safely on land.
