Not sure how I survived over 40 years at the NJ shore without stepping on one of those! It's great to see these critters still doing what they've done for millions of years.

We had a Dalmatian back in the '60s that loved to harass the large ones in Spermicetti Cove. They'd motor on with Susie barking and jumping around , never touched it though.
