They lay hundreds of eggs in each hole. They lay thousands of eggs in total. Many get eaten.
Before horseshoe crabs are three years old, they have already shed their shell 11 times. After that, horseshoe crabs shed their shells once a year when they get too big for their old shell. I found tons of baby horseshoe crab shells.
Sometimes horseshoe crabs swim upside down. They use their gills to swim by moving around.
They have blue blood. Doctors use it for medical stuff.

I like to find horseshoe crabs at Stonewall Pond.
