Sunflower Seastar: Terrifying Predator? | National Geographic

[@NatGeo]

Sunflower Seastars are terrifying predators! Did you know that the Sunflower Seastar is one of the fastest animals in its biome and can travel up to 200 feet an hour?

[@GrowingDownUnder]

not as terrifying as the australian crown of thorns seastar

[@hellatze]

National Geographic starfish are fast ?

[@KarePassion]

the music is louder than the narrator... National Geographic normally puts out amazing videos... this one was lacking in production value

[@user-ej7we6ph3l]

That's 0.038 mph which is extremely slow. To put it into perspective the human walking pace is 2.5 mph.

Thanks, Adam! We're glad you liked our narrator for this video too.

Title and start of video: Sunflower Starfish is a “terrifying” predator! Later in video: *Shows it being prey to king crab*

[@commentcontrol7187]

terrifying to sand dollars and brittle stars

[@cman04]

You'll find these in cold water on the west coast of the U.S. I used to dive in Monterey Bay, CA, and would run into these beautiful star fish all the time. We would just call them "Sun Stars" for short. Also, that crab is called a Decorator Crab. They put organic material on their back, like barnacles, seaweed, and other plant life to camouflage. You can find more extraordinary sea life in cold water vs warm water in my opinion.

Lord Pepe feet’s not even hard to compare feet to meters. Just think of feet like around “a third” the size of a meter. So if this Sea Star is 3 feet long, you could infer that it’s around 1 meter long. See?
