Creature


Here is a picture of some kind of Creature. I think it is a helmet crab. This one was rather large. When we found it we were not sure if it was still alive or not. My mom and I were standing there looking at it while Andrew bent down to touch it. He tapped it towards my mom so it moved really fast and screamed, so her response was to scream and jump back. We all had a good laugh.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun at the beach, discovering new "creatures." This one is called a "horseshoe crab." I laughed when I read that you thought it was a "helmet crab" because that is exactly what I thought when I saw them for the first time! I think it looks more like a helmet crab than a horseshoe crab - don't you??!! Either way, they are horrid, ugly things and I despise 'em. How's that for appreciating nature??

Oh boy, those are nasty little things. Of course, I have only seen them dead on the beach never alive and chasing me. But, nonetheless, I do not really like them.
