A living fossil - Say what?

Never having seen anything like this before Tim and I were most baffled but like most we went to Wikipedia and found that it is a Horse Shoe Crab.  Also that it is considered a "Living Fossil" and is more related to the tic than crabs.  Who knew?

I've seen those before. They look so prehistoric and creepy.
