THESE THINGS ARE ALIVE?! I JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE A TYPE OF ROCK WTF?!
Me to
Me too!!!
I'm dead😂
I accidentally killed one 😭😭😭💀
😮 OMGGGGG😮ME TOOOOOO😮
Interesting and good to know. I also heard, that if you see an alive Sand Dollar upside down, you can safe them by simply turning them, so they can dig themself into the sand.
awww
Good to know, thanks!
SAFE THEM is poor English. Try this: 'MAKE THEM SAFE BY...'
'DIG THEMSELF' is poor English. Try this: 'DIG INTO THE SAND'.
@@mjremy2605 "Save them" would be less awkward, and their comment already says "into the sand"
I had no idea Sand Dollars were so beautiful in motion... I have found a lot of their skeletons on Vancouver Island beaches.
How to threaten me:
- With a roach
- With a sand dollar (new addition!)
“Okay ma’am that’ll be 12.56 for the meal..”
“Do you accept s a n d d o l l a r s ?”
Nice jokes
Teeheehee
Nigga this ain't naruto.
lol this comment is so fucking lame xD
😂😂😂😂
They are kinda cute🥺🥺✨
Me picking it up for the first time:
AAAAAAAAAAH *throw it away as far as possible*

How
They're creepy
I always just thought they were coral or something, like did anyone see these as a kid and really think they were ever alive? I mean, it _makes sense_ they're living animals, but it just seems so weird too.
Coral are alive as well
Corals are also Animals btw...
@@avocadothecat I mean... yeah, but they're not alive as we usually think of living things. I could've worded this better. I just thought sand dollars were like non-moving, filter-feeding creatures like coral. I didn't know they had fleshy bits and moved and preyed on food while alive.
@@bugjams fair
@@bugjamstrees are alive
great video! I learned the different ways sand dollars position themselves to get food and to stay safe from predators. I like that you included their embryo stage to end of life, too.
Picked a living one up a few years ago, and when I turned it to look at the bottom side, I was horrified.
Why
Yeees, homegirl! Hit me with all the cool facts about the Sand Dollar! Love your vids. Currently binging.
Mr Whitefield.
@@MrSandwichk Yes?
I love this comment, such genuine enthusiasm. We love to see it!!
I just heard about them tonight. An online friend who lives in Florida went snorkeling and she posted A bucket with some in. We’re not alive. Learn something new everyday.
Thanks i just learnt a neq fact...I never knew those existed... saw a headline stating that *thousand of sand dollars washed up on beach * i actually thought it was the old coin 💰..
Fascinating
Its amazing to see it move.
My sister and I found a few of these little guys washed up on the beach. If it has the hair on it it’s alive and should be left in the ocean. If not then it’s dead and is okay to keep(just check local laws first since some beaches don’t allow any part of an animal dead or alive to be collected)
Oh my goodness they’re so cute through! 😁🥰
They really are!!! 💕
Its like a ocean roomba
Up until I was a middle aged adult, I never knew ANYTHING about Sand-Dollars. Today I was just born. Thank you!! 😁😊
I feel like these are prehistoric organisms
Using sand dollars as currency was my first thought, now, Idk. They're cute though!
Never seen a live sand dollar before! Looks very cool! And so fuzzy ima die!
Interesting, didn’t know they moved, I used to think the waves, current moved them around
The plankton part is remind me of Spongebob films that the films is not lying
0:25 I don’t like that one it's scary
It's beautiful!
Yea lol it looks like something out of stranger things
@@letmebe9826 microscope food 😂 if they eat you it won't hurt lol
Oh.
Classic you hate something because of how it looks you are disgusting
Such an informative video, keep up the good work!!!
I always thought they were starfish fossils :0
Also, what's the name of the music??
When you find a dead one crack it in half and in the middle it will have a small white dove made from calcium
Its better to keep it in one
I thought it was a shell and took it home in a plastic box. I opened it much later and about threw up. Haha thats when I learned it was a living thing
Whyd u throw up
@the crazy cat person · 6 years ago cause somthing was decaying
@@jimmydean4494 ah
Большое спасибо, очень интересно и Вы рассказываете медленно, так что я всё успела понять.👍🏻❤️
First clams, now the sand dollar? I think I love underwater
0:28 wow!
wow life is so strange and amazing
I’m looking up sand dollar facts because today I found the tiniest sand dollar ever. I’ve found lots of both living and dead sand dollars before but today I found a dead one in perfect condition…the size of a pin head! I literally felt like I had just discovered treasure.
Hi. These little creatures are amazing. I used to see them on beaches I went around where I live, but recently I haven't seen them and I'm very worried. Does anyone know if they're alright, if I can do something, can anyone tell if it's the sea pollution? Or is it me looking in the wrong places? What is their favorite place? Does it have to do with the type of sand? Does anyone noticed it too? Do they migrate? Thanks.
There fine i recently found a live one today at a beach a bit bigger then a quarter
If they hung around there for yeas then yeas it is good to worry about your surrounding environment.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, KEEP IT UP
The mail lady: What can I say except YOU’re WELCOME
i've never heard of them . beautifull creators . is this only in florida ?? i'm dutch , never seen them on our beaches .
They live all around the world, can be found on pretty much all beaches around the us
@@AHRidingswow I live in Canada. Lake Ontario. Not salt water. So I wonder if they are in this water ?
We are in Cambria, California and I picked up over 100 dead sand dollars in about 10 minutes on the Morro Bay Beach. I love them!
Thank you very much!
Fascinating creatures
i dont know theyre alive, used to collect them when i was a kid
You are collecting dead bodies lol
OMG, how cute are those?! And their name?! I wish we hade some here in Sweden too❣️ Then they would be called Sand crowns... 🥰💖

سبحان الله الخالق المبدع

@@edencieslowski9310 idk just the way the skin moves and the texture freaks me out 😂
I took a bite out of one when I was a kid :/
Bitch wtffff, what did it taste like lmaoo
ayo sea biscuits
Was it good? The sand dollar was probably like “Oh hey. AH FUCK MY EYES.”
WTF?
Do they sting you whene alive like other sea urchins?
All this time, i had a collection of dead urchins..?
Did you see dead sand dollars or did you wait a decade or something, or killed them?
Found dead washed up on the beach, didnt know they were living creatures until this video showed up-
@@maximumsquad8243 Oh wow. 😱
i had a 10 year old sand dollar and i recently realized they are living beings
I hope no one who has a phobia of unembedded skeletons sees this video.
Imagine if they were living forms of currency despite the name
I never see anything like that before
Love sand dollars thank little ty Rhode Island I love sand dollars they're my favorite I love the Bahamas they're my favorite and Catalina Island they're my favorite I love Pacific and Atlantic sand dollars

Do these exist in australia because I've never found one
Yes

Me and the homies call it weed pancakes.
Instead of calling sand dollars “sand dollars” I’ll call them “tests”
Such a wonderful world Allah created ✨
Hello ^-^

🌺💛❤❤🌺💛🌺❤❤🌺💛🌺❤❤
boy thas cap
Eso es una roca wtrmf
I thought they were used for buying stuff
🙂🙂🙂🙂
"test"
wait, i didn’t know they where animals-
Huh? What did you think they were then?
Sooo... Why do they have a weed leaf on their back?
That's just an evolutionary remnant from when they were regular, ball-shaped sea urchins. In sea urchins those bands (called ambulacra) run from top to bottom like meridians on a globe; and the slits are where the tube feet come out from. As the dollars began to flatten during evolution, the bands were reduced to that flower shape, concentrated around what would have been the "north pole" of a regular spherical sea urchin. In sand dollars the ambulacra are called petaloid areas.
@@zddxddyddw that's awesome
Whose here because of animal crossing
c'thulhu's roomba
:D
eww :( im upset
Sad most animals will be extinct soon.
Nope
I feel disgusted now
They're not money from deep sea civilization.
I'm so disappointed. And my day is ruined.
Are they useful being alive here?
everything is useful being alive here
