Starfish walk using hundreds of tiny tube feet on the underside of their arms, as seen in this fascinating timelapse by Juliette Horn at the Frost Museum of Science.
Frost Science Museum on Instagram: "Getting through the week like this chocolate chip sea star... Sea stars use thousands of tube feet on the underside of each arm to move across marine surfaces. We like seeing them working together! Although they most commonly have five arms, some of these animals can grow up to 40 arms. #FrostScienceatHome 🎥: @juliette_horn #FrostScience #FrostScienceMuseum #ScienceMuseum #Museum #MuseumAtHome #loveflorida #miamidadecounty #science #miami #stayathome #distancelearning #education #aquarium #seastar #marinelife #sea #star #oceans #wednesdaywisdom #wednesday #oceancreatures #oceanbeauty #tubefeet #underwateranimals #timelapse #oceans #dyk"
