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.

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.
Giant picks up person: This is what a live person looks like. And this skeleton is what a dead person looks like. The difference is, that the live person is covered with flesh, and has screaming noises coming from its mouth.
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. :(
I’m 52 and have loved the sand dollar shells my whole life, but this was my very first time seeing a LIVE one! 😂 Purple… my favorite color no less! 🙌🏼🤩💗😂 Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful video 🙏🏼😁🙏🏼
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 🤣
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
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.

Also, don't compare humans to every other living organism. We are on a level of consciousness far higher than they are.

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.
Thanks ! Growing up in Florida I do remember them, but they seemed to be quite scarce in my older years. I so hope that is not because they are struggling. They are fascinating and so different from other salt water beings. I appreciate your info and now I'm going to look into them more!!
Florida had a massive coral reef die off. Efforts are being made to grow corals and sponges in labs and then they are reintroduced. The die off was caused by a lot of things including bacteria from leaking septic systems that eat the coral and a die off of echioderms that led to algea problems. Efforts have also been made so far to reintroduce sea urchins to help with the agea problem. 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.
Thats amazing...great video! And all its little brissles moving wow...ive learnt something new today..never heard of a sand dollar before, thanks, Sonique

@@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.
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
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 wish that she had added a few seconds and shown people that she put it back. I live 20 minutes from a popular east coach beach and I saw a group of tourists digging them up with their feet and building a pile on the beach. I am 100% certain that they weren't going to put them back. There were some locals yelling at them, so hopefully someone put them back. I had just moved to the area and I was clueless about them. I wish I knew back then that it is illegal to do this and those folks could have suffered an extra souvenir of a huge fine to pay off to Tybee Island.
@@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 never knew sand dollars were living organisms... I used to watch a show with cartoon fish, and they used sand dollars as money...... They used corpses as money..........
Kiki Yuyu I think you may have misunderstood me. He watched a cartoon where fish used sand dollar corpses as money and I realised we kill trees and use them as our money. I didn't see a difference we kinda do the same lol 😊
@@Menaceblue3 we have a plastic skeleton outside of our house for years and when our grandfather dies he wants to be that skeleton so no one will ever know hes a real skeleton and just think we upgraded. itll be mf hilarious although someones gonna try to steal his gold teeth.

I mean if they’re already dead and (I assume) perished on the beaches and not from your mother, then I don’t see that to be that bad. It’s certainly less weird than mounting a deer head onto plaque or using the skin of an animal as a rug.
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 😭😂

Thought It was a dollar she found in the sand and it magically moved o3o
Lol
Thought sand dollars were a sea creature's money when I was little lol

So dumb bruhh !!
Leshia Staton me to😂😂
Neon Black Shut'cho mouth
I think the same way. He knows the game sea stars? Nobody? Ok
Thanks ! Growing up in Florida I do remember them, but they seemed to be quite scarce in my older years. I so hope that is not because they are struggling. They are fascinating and so different from other salt water beings. I appreciate your info and now I'm going to look into them more!!
Florida had a massive coral reef die off. Efforts are being made to grow corals and sponges in labs and then they are reintroduced. The die off was caused by a lot of things including bacteria from leaking septic systems that eat the coral and a die off of echioderms that led to algea problems. Efforts have also been made so far to reintroduce sea urchins to help with the agea problem. 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 was today years old when I learned sand dollars are actually living creatures.

diorite because I just learned that sand dollars are creatures ...
Shut the fuck up
I think it'd be a bit weirder if there were just non living discs randomly in the beach

Imma just not like
No, no its not ya square.
You saying it's the ultimate "only one in Oregon remaining"?
More like ultimate horror movie but I understand your sentiment

😂😂
SAME THOUGH
Rikka: TOO CLOSE
As soon as I saw those bristles move, I was like “NOPE! NUH UH! I AIN’T TOUCHING THAT!”
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.

The bristles remind me of very fine carpeting.

KittySmittySource remind me of my cat
Wet carpet, yes

That's great to think of.
I knew nothing about sand dollars before this video, awesome to learn something new about animals 🤩
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
“The hell is a sand dollar?” Was my first thought.
You’ve never seen these guys at the aquarium?
@@sonofaquack6987 nope
same lol
What country are you from?
@@tinman96 i'm from France and i have never seen something like that
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.
Rip
* 👀 * intensifies.
I have some petrified sand dollars
Im shocked
ik same
my 7 year old brother was watching this with me
lets just say that now he is very freaked out.
I wish that she had added a few seconds and shown people that she put it back. I live 20 minutes from a popular east coach beach and I saw a group of tourists digging them up with their feet and building a pile on the beach. I am 100% certain that they weren't going to put them back. There were some locals yelling at them, so hopefully someone put them back. I had just moved to the area and I was clueless about them. I wish I knew back then that it is illegal to do this and those folks could have suffered an extra souvenir of a huge fine to pay off to Tybee Island.

@@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 never knew sand dollars were living organisms...
I used to watch a show with cartoon fish, and they used sand dollars as money......
They used corpses as money..........
Kiki Yuyu but we use dead trees 🙊 I see no difference
PureReesesPieces We're not trees or even plants. The show was about anthropomorphic sea creatures.
Kiki Yuyu I think you may have misunderstood me. He watched a cartoon where fish used sand dollar corpses as money and I realised we kill trees and use them as our money. I didn't see a difference we kinda do the same lol 😊
PureReesesPieces You don't see a difference between plants and animals?
Kiki Yuyu 😓 not the point I was making. I can tell the difference. Using dead things as money was similar.
Thanks for that brief and educational segment on the sand dollar! 👍
This woman just casually had her hands all over those wriggling bristles. Fearless!
I did that a lot

HAHAHAHA
My mother collected the dead ones and bleached them, then painted them to use as Christmas ornaments. I thought they were ceramic...
Yet, when I collect the skeletal remains of my enemies and put them on a Christmas tree, I'm suddenly the bad guy?
@@Menaceblue3 we have a plastic skeleton outside of our house for years and when our grandfather dies he wants to be that skeleton so no one will ever know hes a real skeleton and just think we upgraded. itll be mf hilarious although someones gonna try to steal his gold teeth. Hes got a few in there.
@@youwouldntclickalinkonyout6236 That's perfect
Weird
I mean if they’re already dead and (I assume) perished on the beaches and not from your mother, then I don’t see that to be that bad. It’s certainly less weird than mounting a deer head onto plaque or using the skin of an animal as a rug.
Her: *flips live sand buck on back*
Me: "the little feet!"
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 😭😂

When you flipped over the alive sand dollar I personally dropped dead.
I cried.

Your just contributing to the cringe 😬
Are you still dead
I see dead people typing comments 🥺
My heart dropped when she turned it around.
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
Is it weird how when I was 5 I thought that you could exchange them for stuff like regular dollars?
No, not weird at all :’D

Was it like a cat tongue or more like a bunch of little tentacles?

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.
What's their exchange rate with American Dollars?

The rate is a floating one.
Depends on how much you want to shell out.
