Product Description Did you know that because the origin of horseshoe crabs dates back to the Ordovician period (about 450 million years ago), they are considered living fossils? Horseshoe crabs can be found in shallow ocean waters and occasionally on the shore. Like all Safari figurines, this model was crafted to be detailed, true-to-life, and scientifically accurate. Don’t worry – horseshoe crabs may look scary, but they are completely harmless! 7 inches long and 3.5 inches wide, this figurine is a touch shorter and wider than a 16 oz. water bottle on its side. Horseshoe crabs are generally darker colours, and can range from slate gravy to olive green. Unfortunately, horseshoe crab populations have been dropping over the last few years, and beach-goers can no longer expect to see shores littered with them during the breeding season. They are harvested for multiple reasons, including for use as bait or to extract their blood, although many coastal states have limited or banned horseshoe crab fishing in recent years. Safety Warning Not suitable for children under the age of 3 Box Contains 1 x Horseshoe Crab
