These 5 Beach Creatures Have Totally Secret Lives | Deep Look

About this video

Do you really know who you’re sharing the beach with? Purple sand dollars gobble bits of metal to stay grounded in turbulent waters. Mole crabs move sand like a conveyor belt. Hardworking bees sculpt tiny sandcastles. Under the moonlight, horseshoe crabs mate by the thousands and bury their eggs. And beach hoppers spend their nights partying and cleaning up while you sleep. 00:00 Intro 00:19 Sand dollars 04:16 Mole crabs 07:38 Beach bees 11:46 Horseshoe crabs 16:19 Beach hoppers 👉 JOIN our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/kqeddeeplook?sub_confirmation=1 DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED in San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios.
