If you think you have too big of a family, then you clearly haven’t met the horseshoe crab, the females produce about 90,000 eggs. Why so many you ask? Well out of those 90,000 eggs, the mom horseshoe crab can only expect 10 to survive.

WIERDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my story:
Heather the HorseShoe Crab had layed 90, 000 eggs in one day and she was very tired! “Man, I can’t wait till these grow up into little horsesho crabs and move on.” she smiled as much as she could but looked weird because of her peculiaraly arranged mouth and way of eating. “And if I am lucky and take really good care of tem, maybe even ten will survive.” The End.
…. True Ranger Gabjas but sad that only so little survive.
But thats the way of life.
Gabjas, you write very interesting stories. Some of them are happy and some of them aren’t. Either way, I hope you keep writing! Maybe someday you will even publish a book!
Its so weird looking!
Once my teacher told my class to write a legend with pictures and writing. I made my legend on how the wolf became a dog, and my teacher liked it so much she publised it into a book for my school.
That must have been a great story! Great job!
Thanks ER_Bubbles!
Wow! I read a book about horseshoe crabs and they were alive before the dinosaurs and are still alive!
that’s amazing
