A tri-spine horseshoe crab kicks up sediment along the muddy bottom of the Pangatalan Island Marine Protected Area in the Philippines. After a decade of restoration work to the islet’s bay, its green waters are rich with plankton and ready to welcome back bigger animals.

Dazzling Photos Show Horseshoe Crabs Thriving in Protected Area

In the Philippines, the tri-spine horseshoe crab has made a home and other species are returning too.

— By Amy McKeever | Photographs By Laurent Ballesta | Published:July 12, 2022 | Saturday 05 August, 2023

Horseshoe crabs are built to last. With spiky tails, shells shaped like combat helmets, and sharp pincers at the end of eight of their 10 legs, these ancient invertebrates have been scuttling along the ocean floor relatively unchanged for some 450 million years.

They managed to survive the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Surviving humans may prove more difficult. Like many marine animals, horseshoe crabs are overfished for food and bait, and coastal development has destroyed spawning sites. But they also are collected en masse for their blue blood, which contains a rare clotting agent critical for the development of safe vaccines. The blood may be lifesaving for humans, but its harvest often kills the animals—particularly in much of Asia, where they are drained of all their blood rather than just a portion of it.

A horseshoe crab hides an ecosystem within its shell. The hairlike objects along its body are hydroids—tiny, fuzzy invertebrates related to jellyfish—and there are at least eight shrimps clinging to the crab’s pincers. Horseshoe crabs are relatively unstudied; little is known about how they interact with other species.

A tank-like horseshoe crab pushes itself across Pangatalan’s reef, which has benefited from the planting of mangroves and creation of artificial reefs. Members of the class Merostomata—which means “legs attached to the mouth”—horseshoe crabs are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than to crustaceans.

Tri-spine horseshoe crabs have lost more than half their population in the past 60 years. But on the Philippine islet of Pangatalan, the species is an unexpected symbol of resilience. For years the island’s 11 acres were degraded: trees cut down for timber, mangroves burned for charcoal, and coral reefs overfished with dynamite and cyanide. By 2011 these horseshoe crabs, about 15 inches long, were among the biggest creatures left.

Now a marine protected area, Pangatalan is starting to thrive again. Efforts to restore its reefs and plant thousands of trees have led many animals to return, including rare giant groupers that grow to some eight feet long.

This isn’t an alien landscape—it’s an extreme close-up of the topside of a horseshoe crab’s abdomen. The gills are on the underside, and the dashes and indentations mark where they attach to the exoskeleton. The dark points beneath are minute spines that may function as whiskers do on a cat.

“Be beautiful or be shocking”—these are typical tactics used to get people to care about nature, says photographer Laurent Ballesta. “I think there’s a third way,” he says. “Try to show the mysteries. When you are in front of something you don’t understand, you forget beauty.”

Horseshoe crabs may not be as charismatic as elephants or pandas, but perhaps they’ll inspire people to care more about wildlife. Appreciation for horseshoe crabs has grown thanks to their role in COVID-19 vaccine development. Conservationists hope that regard will translate to stronger habitat protections and wider adoption of a synthetic alternative to crab blood—saving horseshoe crabs just as they’ve helped save us.

Golden trevallies swim above a horseshoe crab, hoping to catch leftovers as it digs in the mud for clams and other prey. As bigger fish slowly return to the reef, horseshoe crabs may no longer rule the ecosystem. But they remain symbols of its resilience.

I’ve done the math and Simon Petrikov is 1,052 years old in Fionna and cake.

We get a starting age when we see the first episode of Simon and Marcie flashback. Simon says he’s 47 and Marcie is 7 so that’s 40 years apart. When they meet again with Ice King first reverts to Simon and calls her to ask for help Marcie assures Simon that she’s only 1000 years old. Making Simon 1040. By the end of the series Finn is 17 when Betty is fused with Golb and Simon is reverted permanently to his human form. In Fionna and Cake we can clearly see that Finn has grown up into an adult. I looked up Finn’s age in Fionna and Cake on Google and the first results say he’s 29 meaning that it’s been 12 years since the series finale. 1040+12 = 1052.

In conclusion. Simon is old.

再多麼合適的兩個人，不去關心慢慢地就陌生了；就算交往再深的感情，不去呵護慢慢也就淡了；彼此不再說話，漸漸地就沒話可說了。

夫妻、親人、愛侶和朋友任誰都一樣，長久不再用潤滑劑，感情當然會生銹，最後就連「心門」都打不開了。我們明白在人生旅程中遇到的多數人都只能陪你走一小段路。最後習慣了失去，則變為成年人感情的常態。

無緣的人不必挽留，錯過的也毋需遺憾。願每個人在彼此的世界裡，好好的愛自己，不再聯繫，各自安好。

No matter how suitable two people are, they will gradually become strangers if they don't care about them; no matter how deep the relationship is, if they are not cared for, they will gradually fade away; if they no longer talk to each other, they will gradually have nothing to say.

It’s the same for couples, relatives, lovers and friends. Without lubricant for a long time, the relationship will naturally become rusty, and in the end, even the "heart door" cannot be opened. We understand that most of the people you meet on your journey through life can only accompany you for a short paths. Eventually, you get used to losing, and it becomes the normal state of adult relationships.

There is no need to keep those who have missed it, and there is no need to regret those who have missed it. I hope everyone can love themselves well in each other's world, stop contacting each other, and be well in you own life.

Lan~*

I get a notification of a promo post:

I go to check the blog out:

I see the blog is anti good faith:

Why does this happen so much, even worse to see mutuals reblogging the promo because that makes me wonder if I need to unfollow anyone. The system I mod with uses good faith labels. I am bi gay. That has been made very clear. If you are an anti you will be blocked regardless on mutual or stranger. You are not welcome here

A new dinosaur discovered in Patagonia is among the smallest of giants. Named Titanomachya gimenezi, the long-necked herbivore belonged to a family of usually immense dinosaurs called titanosaurs. But even fully grown, Titanomachya was about the size of a cow—albeit, a very hefty cow.
