Sand Flea facts: actually a crustacean | Animal Fact Files

Sand fleas aren't fleas - they aren't even insects! Now, there are other animals commonly called sand fleas that are actually flea, but they have another commonly used name, so we've decided to talk about these NOT fleas instead. ;) Sand fleas are named so because they have amazing jumping abilities! They some pretty amazing crustaceans because some of them, most commonly known as lawn shrimp, are wholly terrestrial! They're some of the only crustaceans that have been able to move from water to land (though they do still require moisture to keep from drying out!). Scientific Name: Family - Talitridae Range: nearly worldwide but lacking from polar regions Size: 5 to 20mm (less than an inch) Diet: algae, detritus, etc. Lifespan: about a year ✨ Animal Fact Files Patreon Supporters get early access to videos, get their video requests moved to the top of our request list, and more! ✨ 👉   / animalfactfiles   You can learn more on: Twitter -   / animalfactfiles   Facebook -   / animalfactfiles   --- Image and Video Credits: Joseph B Small Jr -    • Sand Hoppers of Puget Sound   Linda Tanner - https://www.flickr.com/photos/goingsl...
