The internet has been puzzled by a video capturing a starfish appearing to ‘walk’ on a beach. Zeb Hallock witnessed the unusual sight in Corolla, North Carolina and recorded it before releasing the creature back into the ocean. The footage shows the starfish using its numerous cilia, resembling hair, on its underside to slowly move across the sand.
Zeb Hallock from Corolla, North Carolina, recently came across an unusual sight while strolling on the beach. He witnessed starfishes taking a walk near the water and even captured the entire phenomenon on video. Zeb observed that some starfishes were ambling in the tide pools, while others were moving slowly on the sand. To prevent them from getting stranded on the shore, Zeb and other curious beachgoers safely relocated the starfishes back to the ocean or tide pools. The abundance of starfishes on the beach was a fascinating sight for many visitors who willingly lent a hand in returning the sea creatures to their natural habitat.
The video showcases a fascinating sea creature that uses the tiny, hair-like cilia on its underside to move across sand. While the footage was originally captured back in October 2012, it has only recently gained popularity after being shared on social media. With over four million views on Facebook, viewers are amazed by the creature’s unique method of movement.
