Limulus 3D model
3 credits
The horseshoe crab is a kind of ancient marine arthropod, which belongs to the class Limulus. The body is divided into three parts: head and chest, abdomen and sword tail. The cephalothorax is horseshoe-shaped, with 3 longitudinal ridges and 1 compound eye on each side of the longitudinal ridges. The abdomen is small, hexagonal, with 6 pairs of appendages, of which the first pair is more pliform left and right, with a reproductive foramen below. Sword tail slender, used to support the body. Blood is blue because it contains the copper ion hemocyanin. It mainly lives in shallow sandy seabed and prefers to live in estuaries with low salinity. It is a carnivorous animal that feeds on worms and small-sized mollusks. Known as "living fossils" because they have existed since the Ordovician
