В общем долго ли, коротко ли, мы добрались до пляжа. Мы на этом пляже были раз двадцать раньше, но конечно нужно было приехать Лёше из Цюриха чтобы поймать живого horseshoe crab (интересно, как это будет по-русски).
Horseshoe crabs are arthropods that live primarily in and around shallow ocean waters on soft sandy or muddy bottoms. They will occasionally come on shore for mating. They are commonly used as bait and in fertilizer, and in recent years there has been a decline in the number of individuals, as a consequence of coastal habitat destruction in Japan and overharvesting along the east coast of North America. Tetrodotoxin may be present in the roe of species inhabiting the waters of Thailand. Horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils.

А щитни это совсем другое, хотя тоже трогательное животное.
