Sand Dollar!

Walking down the beach in Guiones you can still find sand dollars at the waterline.  These little critters are beautiful and fascinating but because they are typically pretty motionless, some tourists pick them up thinking of them like “seashells” and leave on the beach to dry out and inadvertently kill them.

Here’s a short clip showing a sand dollar moving at what I imagine to be “full speed” for your enjoyment.
