Horseshoe crabs are *the* ****. They've been around longer than dinosaurs, and still exist today in a happy lifestyle.
Baby sea kittens!

Despite the first image, these guys are completely harmless. They eat worms and other soft things they can be easily crushed. Their pinchers cant even hurt you even if they've tried.
This is what an adult looks like.

These guys have an amazingly cool immune system. Instead of having something similar to white blood cells, they use their own blood to kill invaders. Once a foreign body is detected, the blood around it instantly coagulates, suffocating and in time, killing said invader. It's blood is insanely valuable in pharmaceuticals for this reason.
No reason why I posted this, but these guys are amazingly awesome.
a few other things about them other than being harmless. Their blood is blue due to Copper instead of iron (which give us our red blood), They are carnivores. Their tails enable them to upright themselves if turned upside-down, and they're eyes are an incredible insight to science due to their simplicity which hasn't changed in an Eon. These guys are amazing.
