A hairy sea cucumber was found on a beach in Cape Hatteras.

Visitors spotted the sea creature ashore in North Carolina. Footage shows the small, nearly spherical animal sprawling on the sand.

The sighting of a hairy sea cucumber is rare, as they live on the ocean floor. They can be found ashore due to powerful winter storms. They have a sense of touch and sensitivity to light and can live up to eight years.

Sea cucumbers, despite their plant-like name, are fascinating animals known for their unique survival strategies. When threatened, they can expel their internal organs as a means of defence.
