@tilscience: In 2013 5 BILLION sea stars melted into puddles of goo. Their detached arms crawled away like zombies. And for 10 years, scientists had no idea why. Then they discovered something that connects this ocean apocalypse to warming waters—and it’s still happening. The story of Sea Star Wasting Syndrome is one of the most disturbing ecological mysteries ever solved.

This is way more depressing than spooky. 💔

shaolin1979 :

I can't even imagine the pain, misery & torment, the organism endured, before it finally perished in a week & that's if it was lucky!

Manny_Cheddys_life :

Omg is this why i see so many sea urchin hunting videos?!

Poor little sea stars 😭 You didn't need to tell me that it was related to climate change, I already suspected.

Ike :

I remember watching Octonauts (daughter’s fav back in the day) and they went over something about sea urchins taking over. How did I never look more into it?!? 😭 Those poor sea stars.

PinkSoda 🍉 :

we don't deserve our planet 😢

justme :

It is horrific for the sea stars and the entire ecosystem. However, I can’t help but think about the marine biologists that were in the water studying them! Did any of the biologists get sick from being in the water with them?

drcreyn :

just pls no body eat sea stars , I really couldn't handle THIS version of apocalypse 💀

Sith Lord :

Why am I seeing a zombie version of Patrick from Sponge Bob in my dreams now. Every time I turn around another part of him has fallen off and is also chasing me.

🗣️infowithmichele :

The ocean is warming from the core, Gregg Branden talks about the oceans and climate change

Niko Baloyi :

No one care about climate change technically speaking because the DOD is the biggest polluter & I have never heard any environmentalist mention that bcz they probably don't want their funding taken away

A friend of mine was on one of the marine biologist teams that was researching this. It was wild.

Coldly :

I cried a little thinking about this... I really hope scientists can find some solution.

meow 🐶 :

We knew about wasting disease before 2013, it was that it just happened in masses starting in 2013
