Episode 336: Ancient Horseshoe Crabs

You will want to listen to this episode! Out of all the species we have covered, the Horseshoe Crab has to be one of the most radical and is a proven survivor! Emerging nearly 480 million years ago, Horseshoe Crabs have survived multiple mass extinctions and what absolutely blew us away is, they have barely changed over all this time. What is also extremely important is, Horseshoe crabs are facing extinction! Because their biology is so radical, they have been found to have extremely valuable uses for the biotechnology industry. This is a species you want to learn more about, that you need to learn more about. We hope you really enjoy this podcast on Horseshoe Crabs. Thanks HelloFresh!
