Chinese Horseshoe Crab

中華鱟

Tachypleus tridentatus

Despite its name, it is more closely related to spiders, scorpions, and mites rather than crabs (Crustacea).

儘管名稱如此,中華鱟實際上更接近蜘蛛、蝎子和蟎蟲,而不是其他甲殼綱動物

The International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified this Horseshoe crab as “Endangered” due to habitat loss.

由於棲息地喪失,國際自然保護聯盟將中華鱟列為「瀕危」

When in water, it swims upside down.
