A Sand Dollar's Breakfast is Totally Metal | Deep Look

i found one while camping

If you ever get lucky enough to catch a purple one on the beach, it will wiggle and move in your fingers, just be sure to throw it back into the sea! It’s still alive.

The universe is “totally metal”! You are just in a air pocket! 🫧🫧

I'm just here for the music

Sand dollars get more minerals in their diet than I do 😂

💵

These things are basically flattened sea urchins with short spines.

"wanna know how we got so up close and personal with sand dollars?"
gee, must have been a difficult shot😂

Cool

Excellent.

How did I only find your channel now ! ❤😊

the music is too loud

The whole sea is a bank

I was island hoping two days ago and find my first sanddollars. Not as big as the ones shown on videos, but bigger than common coins. Also the swimmers of my group (I cant swim) found one living one, I look at it, with all its tiny brown feet, google it, and quickly realizes it is alive and throw it back to the sea. I kept two dead ones that looks mostly intact.

what has evolution wrought...

so, so beautiful. nature's creatures are amazing

I like to think, that somewhere within the DNA sequence of the sand dollar, lies the exact code to construct a "r = sin (5x)" graph.

If I find 3 million of those… I am basically a rich sand person

"Turns out, takes a lot of work to lay around"

I hear ya mate, a lot of times just trying to laze around is more work than people think and just say "Why don't you just do X,Y, and Z so you can laze around?" and to them i say that's not the point

How do they reproduce? Do they have a mating call?

The more i learn about nature and animals, the more i’m just in awe about our planet.

I never knew these things existed... I love sea urchins but somehow didn't know these are also urchins. I love them.

today I learned a sand dollar isnt a rock

Cool to learn they weigh themselves down more with magnetite.

Just like a pile of tiny Roomba

I have one of these

SUPER NICE

When my mamma cooking fish I got sand dollar s

Subhanallah

Purple sea cookies 😭😭😭💕

So... If I break open a sand dollar, will I find magnetite inside of it?

Aawweessoommee!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰🥰💓💓💕💞💛💛💗💗😍😍💖💖❤️

Me laying around while watching this lol

I never heard of them. What is sand dollar?

the magnetite fact is insanely cool

Sandollar‘s are so pretty

Now I need to find out if sand dollars can be attracted by magnets. I’m serious, this is keeping me up at night

I once picked up one of them and they left my hand yellow

this is so cool i like this video

They live up to their names, don’t they?

Sea Urchin: “But what if I was flat?”

Sand Dollar: “Got u fam.”

That explains all the pores on the surface of sand dollars!! Thank you, I found a sand dollar on the beach several years ago, and I have been wondering about the hundreds (thousands?) of tiny holes ever since.

"Wanna know how we got so up close and personal with those sand dollars"
by swimming?
