Donating to the museum

In New Leaf

After donating the Horseshoe Crab to the museum, it can be found in a large pool in the first room of the Sea exhibit, along with a number of other sea creatures. The exhibit has this to say about the Horseshoe Crab:

"Horseshoe crabs are called "living fossils," as they have not evolved since the age of the dinosaurs. Their back are covered by a hard shell, forming a simple silhouette with their flat backs and long tails. Though referred to as crabs, they're actually more closely related to spiders and scorpions.

When donating to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

"Some might say it's good luck to catch a horseshoe crab. But I am NOT among them, eh wot! Though called a "crab," this beast is an arthropod and thus more akin to spiders and scorpions! Its long tail resembles a scorpion stinger, in fact! Though it's quite harmless, they say. A "living fossil," the horseshoe crab has been around since before the dinosaurs. With that tank-like shell, I suppose it WOULD be the one to survive. but what truly rattles me to the beak... During breeding season, horseshoe crabs crawl up on the beach and make nests together in the hundreds. HUNDREDS OF HORSESHOE CRABS! And with that I can say no more .

Unlike other sea creatures, the horseshoe crab is displayed in the freshwater fish area, in the bottom of the three river tanks alongside the Sturgeon.
