How does a horseshoe feed?

A horseshoe crab feeds using its specialized mouthparts, primarily by scavenging on the sea floor. It utilizes its chelicerae, which are appendages that help grasp and manipulate food, to consume small invertebrates and organic matter. Additionally, horseshoe crabs can filter-feed by using their gills to capture plankton and other tiny particles from the water. This feeding strategy allows them to thrive in their coastal and marine habitats.
