Sand Piranhas are NOT Sand Fleas! | #DeepLook #Shorts

Our Short, "Filming Sand Piranhas!" (https://youtube.com/shorts/Lcaii7rtjKs?feature=share) received a lot of comments -- particularly about whether sand piranhas are sand fleas. We explain how they're different species with the help of ecologist Dave Hubbard from the University of California, Santa Barbara's Marine Science Institute. And an additional thanks goes out to Kyle Emery and Jenny Dugan, his colleagues at UCSB. And watch our Deep Look episode, "Beware of Flesh-Eating Sand Piranhas at the Beach" 👉https://youtu.be/bPfl01alduc?feature=shared Tunga penetrans Photo Credit: Michael F.
