Live Sand Dollar walking

I was walking along the beach just south of Crescent City, California, doing some hunting for shells, driftwood, glass floats, etc. and this is what I found.

I want to thank each and every one of you who've watched my video, commented on it, and who've started following me because of this. I've been away from my home near the Oregon-California coast for almost 2 years, but I'm heading back West the end of this month, so I promise I'll be making more of these types of educational - and maybe even a little silly - videos for everyone who wants to see them. Thank you again for everything.

Looks like this one was dying. The coloration on it had been changed. It's such a cool creature.

1 fact.those aren't legs.
those are bristles used for catching microscopic plankton and animals

One day, sea animals will bring us underwater and show us to everyone.

Fish: "For some reason, these humans keep dying down here."

So glad you shared!!! Too cool! We live in the midwest and most likely never experience this! I home school and I am always searching for unique, beautiful, NATURAL world stuff!! Hit the jackpot! Thanks again!! ALSO: this is the stuff we should be sharing, not intimate details of our families and such!! ;)♡

I didn't know sand dollars were actually alive, huh.

[leonardocontreras]

Wow! Don't think I've ever seen a live one beforeb thanks for that. The little moving fibers on top were crazy!

[sdlock]

You sound like an elementary school teacher lol!

[philmcracken]

[AntheaCallista]

I only know these things from Animal Crossing and i always thought they were round rocks..

I've never felt so violated from watching a video before. I had goosebumps throughout this entire video.
