Horsehoe Crabs are native to Asia and North America. Their closest relatives are not
crabs
as its namesake may imply. The horseshoe crab closest relative is the scorpian. Horshoe crabs have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years, and have changed little in appearence during that time. Today only four species still survive. The species limulus uses its front shell for
burrowing
like a plow, and uses its insect like
legs
to dig up clams and for crawling.
