CREATURE FEATURE - Horseshoe Crabs - Nature's Living Fossil
Tuesday, June 30 at 10:30am

Learn all about a LIVING FOSSIL - Horseshoe Crabs!! Our neighbors in the Bay, these harmless ancient arthropods are a vital part of the ecosystem. Even though they are quite scary looking, their tails are not actually a weapon. Find out what their tails are used for as well as what they eat and what part they play in our ecosystem. They aren't dinosaurs, however, they survived the extinction that wiped out dinosaurs.

Join us this Saturday (6/13) from 2-4pm for our Summer Reading Kickoff Party!
