Field Notes

Description:

Beige, about 15cm, with I believe a round tail, which will make it a Mangrove Horseshoe Crab.

Habitat:

Wetland, Mangrove Singapore. Early afternoon, high tide.

Notes:

We first thought it was a baby clinging to her back but I found out later it was a male Mangrove Horseshoe Crab.
