@@AnimalFactFiles Yeah. Watched a clip called 'How to catch and cook fleas '. I was wondering what he was eating 😅, more interested in the biology than eating them😊
So I'm aware of the difference between the borrowing sand crabs and sand fleas,that they often get mixed up due to colloquial terms being interchangable between the two groups. But my question is why are they considered such a burden to the trainee marines of paris island if their diet consists of seaweed?
@@AnimalFactFiles I'm guessing a woodlouse/lice as we call them in England, we have another type that can roll into a ball that we call pea bugs. No wonder this species is ancient, it has adapted to so many dierent environments. The deep sea Isopod is the penultimate adaptation though IMO.
Insects and crustaceans descend from the same group of marine arthropods, but are very different groups. Insects are hexapods within Pancrustacea, a taxon that includes crustaceans and many lesser known and extinct groups. If you consider all pancrustaceans to be crustaceans, insects are land crustaceans, not the opposite.
To hell with that im never going to a beach ever again
Sand fleas are not harmful to humans in any way. They are just little crustaceans.
Of course I’m studying amphipods and this pops up out of now where ...I am in tune with the universe thank you animal fact files..🙏🙏
Oh sounds like an awesome field of study!
The algorithm *^
Algorithm not the universe 😂
You think you're eating shrimp at Red Lobster???? Uh-uh...Guess again! Lol
💀🤡
Oh gosh you might be right
Who else ended here because they watched a video on someone cooking and eating fleas?
What!? I haven't seen that!

You'd struggle to find a crustacean that isn't both edible and delicious to be honest.
😂😂I just did
That’s exactly why I’m here 😂
I never seen a sand fleas in my life.. but Yes! I've search for this videos.
Now you know more about something you didn't before =D
@@AnimalFactFiles yes.. thanks a lot🥰👍
sand crabs!! :D
I love finding them under the sand and waves on beaches
You must be good at scoping them out!
My curiosity has been satiated. Thanks.

Great video as always! Personal suggestion is a video on Cranes. Thanks! :)
This is a great suggestion, I'll add it to the list. Thanks! 😊
Thanks for taking my suggestion
Thanks for the idea!
I used this video as a theme for my classes! Thank you very much!
You're most welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Y’all call these things sand fleas? I used to call these lil buggers snacks 😋 bussin bussin
So why is there a bunch of videos with people that have infested feet along side videos like this?
Wow these are amazing animals
Youre the best
Glad you enjoyed it! 💜
are they eatable ?
R U High lady ? Sand fleas look NOTHING like shrimp, otherwise fisherman would call them sand shrimp
Loved this!!!
I always thought that they lived in regular sand that is in like in my yard. I guess I was way wrong. Oh,well.
Weird I used to have these on my backyard when I was a kid the thing is that it was very far from the ocean in 🇨🇷
Oh maybe you had the kinds called "lawn shrimp" in your backyard?

I had no above the pea bugs had gills though. They're usually ound living under a rock in moist soil. Brilliant ino
Watching these skitter around is cute and funny. 😁
“Actually a crustacean”.... like crustaceans aren’t just insects that live in the sea -_-
Insects and crustaceans descend from the same group of marine arthropods, but are very different groups. Insects are hexapods within Pancrustacea, a taxon that includes crustaceans and many lesser known and extinct groups.

What do they eat tho..
Are these the same as jiggers? Xx
No. That's explained in the video. Jiggers are actual fleas with no close relation to these.
My cat ain't jumping that far
I am here because of the cover of the album "Americana" by the band The Offspring
Interesting.. gross, buy interesting. TY!
Thanks for watching!
They look like something from Men In Black.
Whoever disliked it can go kick rocks. This is fascinating.
I disliked because it ended up being a PowerPoint presentation with pictures. That’s boring, no one comes on to RUclips for that.
They're cockroaches of the sea!
So roches
Who's here because of the RUclips Short?
Oh was there a Short? Do you have a link?
Me
Delicious 🤤
I am wondering if you can cook them... they may taste like mini lobster
