A living fossil?

April 17, 2013/in Blog

Last summer our Opti campers found horseshoe crabs while sailing out in Holly Pond! They learned about these incredible animals that have been on the planet over 300 million years! Together all of the campers got to hold the horseshoe crab and tag him as part of a research program.

 

Join us this summer for new discoveries out on the pond. See if you can find the next horseshoe crab!
