Nannosquilla decemspinosa rolling dry sand tide pool

A stranded mantis shrimp can roll itself back toward water

On wet sand, it may repeatedly flip its body into a rolling motion, sometimes traveling around two meters. This unusual movement helps the animal reach water when ordinary swimming is impossible.
