Horseshoe crabs are known as living fossils because their species has remained virtually unchanged for over 445 million years, long before dinosaurs existed, and they are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than to true crabs. 

Additionally, their copper-based, blue blood contains a unique chemical that is vital for the pharmaceutical industry to test vaccines and medical devices for bacterial contamination.
