Despite their resemblance to plants, feather stars are are echinoderms – marine animals characterized by their radial symmetry, and hard, spiny endoskeleton. Other members of the phylum Echinodermata include starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea lilies. Feather stars use their fringed arms for swimming and to capture plankton and other little bits of food that drift by them. Like sea stars, feather stars can regrow their limbs if lost to predation! 🎥 : Matthew Kaplan (IG: @matthewunderwa

#ThatsWild: Feather stars, aka free-swimming stemless crinoids, look a little like facehuggers from the Alien movie. They’re actually related to starfish and sea cucumbers. Scientists recently reported the discovery of new feather stars, including the Antarctic strawberry feather star, aptly named for the fruit-like body shape beneath their 20 arms, which they flail rhythmically to swim.

Feather stars are part of phylum Echinodermata (along with sea urchins, sea stars, brittle stars and sea cucumbers) and the class Crinoidea (which only includes feather stars & sea lilies). These animals have a long history, first appearing in the fossil record about 300 million years before the dinosaurs during the Cambrian period! They use their feathery fringed arms to capture plankton and other little bits of food that drift by them. Like sea stars, feather stars can regrow their limbs if lo

For the past few months since rescuing Strawberry Shortcake, we've been on a relentless search for answers about her spinal issues—why she struggles to control her hind legs. It’s been a complicated diagnostic journey, one that has led to more questions than answers. After ruling out several possibilities, we now believe her condition stems from an injury sustained during roping and cattle reining. What’s even more heartbreaking is that her previous owners—whether through incompetence, cruelty,

Strawberry’s Vet Day Update 🍓 Big news for our girl Strawberry—she is **NOT pregnant** (thank goodness)! This sweet mare has been through so much, and it breaks my heart to think about the risks she was subjected to before coming to us. She also got her teeth floated, so she should be feeling a lot more comfortable now. As for her mobility issues, we didn’t get all the answers we wished for, but we did get a bit of hope. We’re looking into next steps, including a trip to VA Tech for further dia
