Did you know? Fossil discoveries have recorded Horseshoe Crabs appearing as early as 450 million years ago. Though the remaining four species of horseshoe crabs living today have evolved from those earlier ancestors into unique species, their overall adaptations and physiology has remained mostly unchanged. Join us at the Cooper Environmental Center as we celebrate these magnificent creatures and learn more about them with crafts, lectures, stories and live encounters.
