Mark?

Whats wrong?

Are you
ready to see an alien?

What are
you talking about?

Yahhh!

Like clockwork, it's

a guarantee that twice
a day the tide will rise

and the tide will fall.

As it proceeds, we
have all learned

that an incredible world of
underwater marine animals

become temporarily exposed
allowing any curious adventurer

the opportunity
to find and admire

all sorts of bizarre creatures.

In Harpswell, Maine, we
came across one animal

that we have been hoping to
feature on "Beyond the Tide"

since the series launched.

But before we get to that
alien-looking water beast,

let's take a look
at something that is

going to make your skin crawl.

Dude, Mark, come here.

Check this out.

What is it?

Dude, this grass is, like,
full of little tiny fleas.

Whoa.

Or something jumping.

Look at that.

Whoa.

I'm standing-- oh, jeez.

Look at that!

Listen.

Do you hear that?

That's like popcorn.

It sounds like rain.

I think
those are sand fleas.

Let me grab one.

Do they bite?

Uhh, I believe so.

All fleas, as far
as I know, bite.

I can't grab one.

They're too small and fast.

Jeez, they're
jumping all over me!

Here.

Come over here, look at this.

Let me check this grass.

This might be better.

Point your camera
down right here.

This is the exact
same sort of seaweed--

dried up seaweed--
oh, see, look at that.

I just step on them
and they're everywhere.

Watch.
Ready?

Yep.

One, two-- oh, my gosh!

What?

Look at that!

Put your hand in there.
What?

Put my hand in there?
Yeah.

All right.
Here.

Let me-- let me
peel back some more.

Ooh-ee!

Ah!

What's that like?

Ah!

That feels really weird.

But they're not biting me.

They're just jumping on me.

Here, let me peel back
this a little bit more.

Look at that!

They're, like,
millions of them.

Oh, my gosh.

That is crazy.

Whoa.

Got one.
You did?

Look.
Look.

Look.

Right there.

Can you see it's little
head sticking out?

I believe that's a sand flea.

Whoa.

That is creepy.

All right.

Note to self, don't
lay on this beach.

I'm just going to disperse
some of the seaweed back out

and cover up the sand flea city.

I have never seen
anything like that.

Millions upon millions
of sand fleas.

All right, let's head this
way down the coastline

and see what else we can find.

We
continue down the coastline,

we soon realized it was
unlike any low tide scenario

we had explored before.

I carefully examine
potential hiding spots

where animals may be waiting
for the tide to return.

But so far, aside from
thousands of fleas,

I wasn't seeing a
single living creature.

The sun was getting
low in the sky when

all of a sudden, our luck
took the perfect turn

and put us right in
the midst of an animal

we had always hoped to get
up close for the cameras.

Oh, it's a turtle!

Oh, no!

It's a horseshoe crab!

What?

Look at this!

Is it alive?
- Oh, it is alive!

Look at that!

Yes, we've been
looking for one of those!

Wow!
I thought that was a turtle!

Oh, my gosh!

I just saw the lump and I
thought it was a carapace.

All right, let's do this.

I'm going to gently lift it
up out of the grasses here.

Let's see.

Oh, it's strong!

Look at that.

Wow.
What an alien.

Look at it's tail going.

Here, back a little bit so
I'm not sitting in the water.

Whoa, look at that!

Oh, my goodness.

That is a horseshoe crab.

What a bizarre looking creature.

That may be thinking, Coyote,
is that thing going to pinch

and bite you like crazy?

No, they actually just
have a little tiny mouth

right in the center,
and they have

no stinger, no fangs, no teeth.

Look at that back tail, there.

Now, they've gotten
a bad reputation

because of this tail people
think that that's venomous.

It actually is not.

Ow, ow, ow.

But the side little
spikes there are

definitely very, very spiny.

Let me see if I
can get it to just

lay in the palm of my hand.

Ooh!

That feels really,
really creepy.

Now, it's called
a horseshoe crab,

but it's not actually
related to crabs at all.

It's more closely related
to spiders and scorpions.

This is one large arthropod.

Now, wait-- ooh.

It is pinching me a little bit.

They do have these
front pedipalps

up front that they
use to harvest food

off of the basin of the ocean.

Wow, I am, like, so
excited right now!

Hold on.

I got to compose
myself because I

did not think we were going to
come across a horseshoe crab

out here.

Now, if you look
straight on, where it

gets the name horseshoe crab--

let me hold it like that.

Looks just like a
horseshoe, right?

Totally.

And if you look right
at the front of the face, there,

you see these little spots?

Those are compound eyes.

Actually, this animal
has nine eyes in total.

The two right here;
five light-sensing eyes

on top of its carapace;
and then on the underside,

two simple eyes that
they actually use to kind

of sense their environment.

And scientists think that
the eyes on the underside

are actually just
left over from when

they were in a larva stage.

So wait those are
eyes on the top of that?

Yes, and actually
looks like a face, doesn't it?

You see that?

I always thought that
that was just like a helmet,

like a shell protection.

Well, the top of this
animal is called the carapace.

Just like a lot of
other arthropod species,

this is a very dense,
very hard exoskeleton.

They don't actually have an
endoskeleton-- you know, bones

and cartilage-- like a human.

But on the underside--
look at that-- looks just

like a scorpion or a spider.

Whoa.

Can I touch the top of it?
- Yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Just curious.
- Totally safe.

Is it tough?
- Yeah.

Oh, wow.
- Yep, exoskeleton.

It's just like a
turtle shell, actually.

Yeah, well, I thought it was a
turtle when we first walked up.

And look, you've got
some sort of a barnacle

growing up on top of it.

It's covered in a little
bit of algae and seaweed.

Now, here's something
that you may not know,

and something very cool--
let me turn it like this

and just hold it
the palm of my hand.

That is me holding
a living fossil.

The ancestors of the horseshoe
crab had been on the planet

for over 450 million years.

And this species right here is
the Atlantic horseshoe crab.

There's only four horseshoe
crabs species in the world.

This is the only one
that can be found off

the Coast of the United States.

And this one
specifically, this design,

the Atlantic horseshoe
crab, has not changed

in over 230 million years.

That dates back to
the Triassic Period.

So this creature
was crawling around

on the basin of the ocean during
the time of the dinosaurs.

Whoa.

How cool is that?

Now, they do get quite
a bit bigger than this.

And I'm guessing
this is a female.

The females are about 25%
larger than the males.

Wow, it's almost
impossible to hold onto.

Look at the underside.

It does look
like a stinger.

It does.

And that's why people are
afraid of these things.

They think that they're
going to get stung.

Look at this.

No.

This tail is actually
just used like a rudder.

Although, it does
have all these barbs.

It's very intimidating, but
it cannot hurt you at all.

In fact, if a horseshoe crab
gets flipped on its back

like that.

See, it tries to
right itself up.

It actually can't.

And that's a big misnomer,
that these arthropods

are capable of flipping
themselves back over.

And there's actually
a conservation

effort that was launched in the
'80s called "Just Flip Them."

And the Just Flip
Them concept is

that if you're
walking down the beach

and you see a horseshoe
crab that's flipped

on its back like
this from, like,

a crashing of a wave,
what you're supposed to do

is just gently grab the carapace
and flip it right side up.

Now, you don't want to
pick it up by its tail

because you can actually
injure the animal

if you hold it like that.

Look out, Mark, it's
coming right towards you.

Oh, man.

It's as
big as my face is.

Whoa.

I do have to watch out
for that tail though.

I don't want to get
stabbed in the eye by it.

Well, how cool was this?

Coming across one
of the most bizarre

creatures you can ever stumble
upon in the tide pools--

the horseshoe crab.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave, stay wild.

We'll see on the next adventure!

All right.

Let's let her back
off into the ocean.

Despite its
angry appearance, intimidating

spiked tale, and creepy
set of legs and pinchers,

the horseshoe crab is one of
the friendliest marine animals

you can stumble upon.

If you see one in the
wild, simply admire it

from a respectful distance.

If you see one
flipped on its back,

have no fear when
it comes to picking

the animal up and gently
setting it back into the water.

Oh, wow.

I cannot believe you're
about to do this.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

And I'm about to enter the
spike zone with the lionfish.

One,

Two, here we go, three.

Oh, wow.

It's getting worse, guys.

Hey, let's get you home.

We are going to be snorkeling
to get these lionfish.

There'll be in shallower water.

Now, they are located
deeper and shallow.

I mean, they're all over
the place from what I hear.

So we've got about six
hours out on the water,

and hopefully in
that amount of time,

we're going to come
back with a lionfish.

All right.

Today, we are heading

off the Coast of Islamorada.

We will be searching for
one of these invasive fish

with the ultimate
goal of showing you

how to treat the effects of
their painful sting, which

is often experienced by
both fishermen and divers.

Native to the
Indo-Pacific, these fish

were first reported off of
Florida's Atlantic Coast

in 1985, and quickly began to
spread up the Eastern seaboard.

With no natural
predators besides humans,

the lionfish has become
invasive enemy number one.

No one knows for sure how
these fish were introduced

to the area, but their
numbers have increased

rapidly over the last 30 years.

So finding one should
not be that difficult.

All right, guys.

We've made it to
our first dive site.

We are just off of
the Florida Keys.

We've got the shore
in the background,

and we're not too far out.

You can actually see
the bottom of the ocean

just off the back
of the boat, which

is perfect for snorkeling.

I'm going to trade in
my adventure cowboy hat

for mask, a snorkel,
and a dive suit.

We're going to head down
there and try to catch

the notorious lionfish.

This is one of the
most invasive species

out here in these waters.

And our captain tells us there's
a 100% chance we're going

to catch one, which
means for you guys,

I'm definitely
going to be stung.

Oh, boy.

Here we go!

OK, we got one.

Get back out, I see it.

Yep.

It came back out
from the coral.

It's just floating there.

All right,
let's try to get it.

This was my moment.

Time to get the invader.

I held my breath
and kicked hard.

Closing in on the
fish, I scoop forward.

And after a little finesse
of the net, I made the catch.

I did it!

I caught a lionfish.

Making sure to keep

the spines away from
myself and the crew,

I swam toward the surface.

Got him!

We have it!

What a beauty!

Wow, it was
making a run for it.

Did you see that?
Yeah!

Oh, man.

Did you get that?
That was awesome.

Wow.
OK.

Well, stay back.

Stay back a little bit from me.

Uh, let's head back to the boat.

We got our fish.

Let's do it!
- Woo-hoo!

That was awesome.

There it is
ladies and gentlemen--

the lionfish.
There it is.

Look out for that.

Here, I'll, uh--

Here, bring that up.

Yeah.

Look at that fish.

Beauty too.

Gorgeous.

Wow.

There you have it.

Look at those spines.

I would say that the
stage is set for me

to be stung by the lionfish.

OK, let's get it
into this bucket--

- and let's get back to shore.

Ha-how!

In
case you were wondering,

this invasive fish will not be
released back into the wild.

But instead will be
donated to a research group

in South Florida.

OK.

I see a tank,
we need a fish.

Here comes the fish.

Now, I'm going to just
scoop it up with this spoon,

and plop him into the aquarium.

You ready?
Yep.

Here he comes.
One, two, three.

Woop.

There you go, buddy.

Wow.

You could see why people
keep them in their aquariums.

Oh, they're
absolutely gorgeous.

I mean, you can see why
it's called a lionfish.

With those pectoral
fins all spread out,

it almost looks like
the mane of a lion.

Now, they're also
known as red zebrafish.

As you can see, those
red stripes kind of

make it look like a red
zebra, many different names

for this fish.

But one thing and one
thing only that we know,

is that this is an invasive
species here in South Florida,

and they can give you a pretty
nasty prick with those spines.

Now, let's look at some of
the anatomy of this fish.

Wow.

First of all,
those dorsal spines

that you see running along
the top ridge of the fish--

all 13 of those are
laced with venom.

The venom on these spines is
actually in grooves that run

along the side of the spines.

And you can see
those fleshy things

hanging off the side, right?

Yeah, what is that?

You see that?

These are actually sheaths
that these spines are in.

So when the fish gets
agitated, the spines

come through the fleshy sheathes
and then the venom is exposed.

So whatever gets, you
know, spined onto there

has the venom go
into its system.

So those sheaths
actually help put venom

on the spines too, right?

They do.

It kind of lubricates
it with venom.

And then when the spine
goes into your hand--

well, that's how the
venom enters your body.

Now, there are a couple
different methods that I

could use to go about being--

Yeah.
Let's--

- spined here.

How are you
going to do this?

This seems really
precarious to me.

Well, the most dangerous
thing, and the thing that

would be really
unintelligent, would

be to actually put
my hands in like this

and try to pick up the
fish from the side.

The ventral spines are
shorter and thicker,

and they will actually put
more venom into me than I care

to have put into my body today.

The dorsal spines also will
inflict a lot of venom,

but I want to replicate what
oftentimes happens to divers

when they run into these
fish, which is getting

spined by the dorsal ridge.

So I'm going to pick
the fish up by its jaw,

it's not going to hurt
it in any way whatsoever,

that dorsal ridge of
spines is going to fan up

like that because it's
going to feel threatened,

it's out of the water.

And I'm going to whack my hand
down on top of those spines

and venom is going
to go into my skin.

Well, you've gone through
some stings and some bites.

How are you feeling about
this particular experiment,

if you will?

Well, this will be
my first marine stinging.

Technically it's not a sting,
it's a stabbing or a barbing,

or a spiking.

Um, and I'm a little
nervous because I

don't know how my body will
react to marine life venom.

We do have an epinephrine
pen with us, as always.

We're also back here
in civilization.

So if anything goes
extremely wrong--

if my body were to go
into anaphylactic shock,

we do have local
medical experts on call,

ready to receive me if
something bad happens.

And you're
good to go with this?

No, I'm sweating.

I'm nervous.

My heart is racing.

You can see the fish is
completely calm right now.

Just there resting on
the bottom of the--

Oh.
Oh.

Ooh.

That's how you get it.

That scared me.

There's water
all over your hat.

Yeah, how that'll
make you jump.

Well, I thought I was going to
get it from the ventral spines.

There are three large spines
on the back that they'll flick

your tail and get you with.

He didn't get me
there, which is good.

But I think we're getting close.

Ooh, OK.

We are just literally a
couple of minutes away from me

being stung by the lionfish.

Ah, you guys know I get nervous
right before I do these things.

Oh.

Those are some big spines.

I have never been spined by
a marine creature before.

I have no idea how
my body's going

to react to this venom, which
makes me even more nervous.

It is time.

GoPro is officially rolling.

OK, now I'm going
to pick the fish up

from the front of its jaw,
and then I'm going to drop

my hand on top of the spikes.

Now, I may be spined
in the process

of getting it out of there.

If that happens, I'm just going
to run with the scene, OK?

Depending on how bad it is.
OK.

OK?

I don't know what's
going to happen.

I'm actually going to use the
wooden spoon to turn it around.

I want to hold it
with my left hand.

I'm actually going
to position it--

look at that.

Look at how it's turning
the spines into the spoon.

Can you see that?

Yeah.

It's like instinctively, like,
positioning the spines to--

It sure is.

- attack it's predator.

OK, I'm going to
try to get it by the mouth.

Ready?

Yeah.

Ooh, be careful.

Careful.

OK.
I got it.

You have the mouth?

Got it by the mouth.

Here we go.
There it is.

Oh, my goodness.

We're here at the moment.

Look at the display
of those spines.

Wow.

OK.

Now, I'm going to drop my
hand down on top of those.

You got a decent shot?

Yeah, can you position
the fish a little more at me.

Yeah.

Let me kind of hold it out
like that so you can see it.

Oh, wow.

I cannot believe you're
about to do this.

Oh, buddy.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

And I'm about to enter the
spike zone with the lionfish.

One--

- two, here we go, three.

Ah!

You all right?

Hahaha!

Did he get you?

Oh, yeah.

Tell me what
you're feeling right now.

What's it feel like?
- Ah!

Does it hurt?

Ooh!

Pinpricks!

Ooh!

Yep.

Oh, man.

Ah.

It's actually
really not that bad.

But it is, keep in
mind, a neurotoxin.

It's going to take a couple
of minutes for this to set in.

It's not instantaneous
like a wasp, a tarantula

hawk, or even the bullet ant.

You can see where
the spines went in.

There, there, and I
think his body kind of

turned I got like four spinings.

Ah!

Is it hot?

Nope.

Fingers are getting
a little stiff.

Yep, I'm
feeling something now.

Hold on a second.

Whew.

Whew.

The fish is OK.

Fish looks good.

That's what you get, he
says, for picking me up.

Ah!

Ooh, wow.
Yeah.

Ooh, wow.

Oh.

Ah.

It's kind of coming in a wave.

You know what that's
indicative of?

Heel monster.

Heel monster.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

All right, I'm going to take
this thing off of my wrist.

Feeling any swelling?

Yeah, I can feel
my arm getting tight.

And this is actually
cutting off the circulation.

And what you don't want to do
is cut off the circulation.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, man.

Dude.

Feel my-- feel my forearm, dude.

That's like instant.

Squeeze under here.

Under there.

Oh, yeah.

Jeez.

Ah!

Oh, man.

Yeah.

Oh, it's burning good now.

I felt the spikes go in--

- and thought to myself, oh,
that's kind of like a pinprick.

A big pin, but
pinprick, nonetheless.

I kind of got up and
said, that's not that bad.

How long will this last?

Ah, it's going to last until
I get my hand in some hot water.

Not boiling hot.

I want as hot as I can stand
because that heat will actually

break down the proteins in the
venom, and it should dissipate.

But ooh, wow.

OK, it's getting worse, guys.

It's getting worse
and I'm getting dizzy.

Hey should--
Mark, should we

take him to get the hot water?

Yeah.

I think we should
probably wrap this up.

OK.
OK.

Let's get inside.
- No.

No.
No.

No.
No.

Got to get an outro.

OK, well, as we can see,
the sting from the lionfish

is extremely painful.

If you are stung,
seek medical attention

as quickly as possible.

You never know how your body
is going to react to venom

in a situation like this.

It's an invasive species.

It's a fish.

It's a fish that's very
easy to come across here

in the Southern part of Florida
and up and down the East

Coast of the United States.

I'm Coyote Peterson-- no, wait.

Wait.

If you see a
lionfish in the wild,

just admire it from
a safe distance.

It's the most important
thing you could do.

Do not try to
capture these fish.

I'm Coyote Peterson,

be brave, stay wild.

We'll see you on
the next adventure.

OK, I'm getting dizzy.
