I remember being at Myrtle Beach during hurricane Bill back in 2009. It never made landfall but it still tore the beaches up and for the first time ever I found live sand dollars that had washed up... Millions of them. Being the person I am and wanting to help these creatures I remember skipping them like stones back into the ocean thinking,"I'll save you". I also learned that sand dollars skip across the water real nicely... Hey I saved them though. 😆 True story.

@Tracey Frebertshauser I like how you used the term men instead of humans at the beginning. Really shows what kind of person you are. As for the whole love and bliss thing, if that happened then we'd turn into some sort of hive mind. Sadness, anger, fear; every emotion we have is what makes us human. Also, don't compare humans to every other living organism. We are on a level of consciousness far higher than they are.
@@michaeltabarroni70 there is something into it but cant find the connecting mr crabs likes money and theirs plankton and we see here a plankton eating sand dollar..
Wonderful. I love sand dollars. My little sis and I used to collect them when we went to the beach. I always wanted to see a live one. Thank you so much for the video. I learned a lot.
When I was a kid, I collected a bunch of sand dollars at the beach and brought them home. I didn’t know that they were living creatures, so I cleaned them with dish soap to get the “brown color off” and came back an hour later to the smell of rotting fish.
Everybody freaking out over this in the comments is hilarious. Sand Dollars look perfectly fine, if you think this is awful, just look up what the underside of a starfish looks like.
Well, maybe you collect dead sand dollars, apparently, once they get out of water they die in almost two minutes, even shells and conches are parts of a living animal
I normally am pretty hard to freak out when it comes to nature stuff but seeing the underside of a sand dollar looking like a shag rug of tongue bumps that also kinda look like a swarming mass of maggots made me need a break from my ramen i was eating
So basically what we've learned from this is sand dollars are evil creatures. How dare they kill plankton! I do love my spongebob so they better not kill him!
I knew they used to be alive, but never thought about what the living animal was like... I kinda imagined it like a clam in a shell but didn't think about , like, where is the opening for it to crawl around or stick out of the shell. Gonna Google sand dollar anatomy now.
Those aren't bristles, they're tentacles of nightmare fuel. Imagine a giant sand dollar kilometers wide upscaled laying on it's back, you're running through a forest of tentacles all trying to move you towards its mouth wanting to devour your flesh. :(
Interesting thing: when I was a kid, my dad never let me take home the living sand dollars because he would say to respect life no matter how big or small,, but I have good memories of petting living sand dollars because they tickle !!
Well I learned something today. I had no idea sand dollars were live creatures in the first place. I thought it was just a cool shaped rock people used as decorations 🤣
They’re usually out in deeper water, where they don’t get pummeled by the waves or stepped on by swimmers. Their bodies are very fragile, and they don’t survive getting broken. When they’re feeding, they turn up on edge to catch stuff in the water.

Florida had a massive coral reef die off. Efforts are being made to grow corals and sponges in labs and then they are reintroduced.

Sadly sand dollars probably were decimated by the oil spill, but if you are still seeing some, they should recover on their own over time.

I think we should rename sand dollars to sea roombas
That1NerdyBlackGirl second that.
“Pfft. What? You didn’t know Sand Dollars we’re living things?”

You're everywhere
and if you think _that's_ awful, look at the adult Bigfin Squid.
There you are
"sells sand dollars"
Omg, it has it's own personal cosy carpet patch! Love it.
Kinda weird that we named an organism a form of currency. I like the term "sea cookie" more; just sounds freakin adorable.
lol apparently people are responding but youtube is marking all responses as spam and won't let me change it :P
and little kids would eat it
Aww what a cute sea cookie!
Lol so do I
since its got a star its a " sherrifs badge" ^^
“The hell is a sand dollar?” Was my first thought.
You’ve never seen these guys at the aquarium?

As soon as I saw those bristles move, I was like “NOPE! NUH UH! I AIN’T TOUCHING THAT!”
Her: shows that's it's not dead **turns it around**
**YEETS THE PHONE**
if i found a live one i would just run and scream 🏃🏻♀️
@@randomstranger3360 haha loser😂
Yeet
@@crackheadradar7803 haha loser 😂
@@randomstranger3360 bruh why tf everyone scared of these things. They literally cannot hurt you. Imagine crawling on the sand, minding your business, when a giant hairless ape picks you up and calls you disgusting.
I remember when I touched a sand dollar while it was alive. I can now confirm that I have a horrid fear of sand dollars.
Honestly, I think they look really neat
Was it like a cat tongue or more like a bunch of little tentacles?
@@trindalas what the fuck is that description
@@lancetheking7524 it looks a little like a cat tongue, I was curious if that’s what it felt like. 🤷🏻♂️
@@trindalas that still sounds so weird
Aww everyone is saying it's gross ;( it really isn't. It's like a starfish. Haven't you guys seen the underneath of a live starfish it's just like the bristles on a sand dollar
Alexandria Lara It's cute
The underside of a starfish is covered in tube feet. This sand dollar has bristles. There's a clear difference.
Also sea urchins have tube feet
Alexandria Lara yea but some people have tryphobia so it nasty
Alexandria Lara ikr
Thanks. I used to collect sand dollars from Ocean Beach in SF years ago, but I never knew how they lived. So thank you much.
When I was in Florida about 20 years ago I picked up a sand dollar. I had no idea they were alive. I thought sand dollars were shells. I picked up one just like this and screamed when it started breathing 😭😂
Would love to see you in SoBe in bikini -you’re cute lol

When I was young, I always thought sand dollars were just random things that showed up in the sand for like no reason.
And then I came to the realization that sand dollars were actual beings and that I’ve just been taking their dried up skeletons home with me.

I have some petrified sand dollars
Im shocked

my 7 year old brother was watching this with me

When you flipped over the alive sand dollar I personally dropped dead.
I cried.
@6lock 9ine9 yea!!
Your just contributing to the cringe 😬
Are you still dead
I see dead people typing comments 🥺
I knew nothing about sand dollars before this video, awesome to learn something new about animals 🤩
its kinda cute until she flipped it over
Ikr. XD
Ya
I thought it was more cute after she flipped it
ikr it look gross
Pretty much like sea cucumbers.
Sea animals are pretty much disgusting
Me before she turned the sand dollar over: ooh maybe it’s shiny or something at the back
When she turned it around: eghuedddfp moving little thingy thangys *shivers*
LMAOO
Idk how but it’s triggering my trypophobia

I find it interesting how these guys are closely related to the starfish and sea Urchin. These guys are known as Echinoderms. Quite cool.
echinoderms are one of my favorite types of sea creature
They almost seem close to fungi🤯
@@liamnitro2707 maybe superficially but internally they're vastly different
Doubly interesting considering they were one of the first multicellular organisms to appear on Earth.
@@liamnitro2707 They are way too far to be compared to fungi. Fungi is am entirely different kingdom than the animals. Sand dollars are still closer to sponges and us than fungi.
i thought they were secret underwater currency of atlantis
XD
XD
lol
Thought It was a dollar she found in the sand and it magically moved o3o
Lol
Her turning over the live sand dollar was the most horrifying jumpscare I have ever seen
i knew it wasnt just me who found it absolutely horrifying
Everyone gangsta till the live sand dollar gets turned on its back
HOW DOES SHE HOLD IT
@@placeholder6343 she allows her flesh to be claimed by the moving hair from the water realm
It’s just bristles. Not anything to be afraid of
pity weeb
Literally tho, how is she so chill ab it bruhh

alive sand dollar: Dude pay some respect!
Thats the mouth doe

This woman just casually had her hands all over those wriggling bristles. Fearless!

The bristles remind me of very fine carpeting.
