Episode 45: Horseshoe Crabs with Quinn Whitesall McHerron

In this episode Matt and marine biologist Quinn chat all about the incredible animal that is the Horseshoe crab. Quinn explains how this unusual seacreature is not a crab at all, but is actually more closely related to scorpions, has unique and medically special blood, and walks a huge distance on the seafloor to lay eggs up on dry land!
