A group of hikers encountering quicksand on the banks of the Paria River, Utah Quicksand warning sign near Lower King Bridge, Western Australia. Quicksand is a shear thinning non-Newtonian fluid: when undisturbed, it often appears to be solid ("gel" form), but a less than 1% change in the stress on the quicksand will cause a sudden decrease in its viscosity ("sol" form).
It turns out that quicksand, known as supersaturated sand, is a real thing around the world, even in Maine, far from the jungle locations where Hollywood has used it to add drama by ensnaring actors.

"Killer quicksand", like in the movies (i.e., quicksand that slowly sucks any person or animal unlucky enough to fall into it under), really exists. Busted Quicksand is denser than water; the greater the density of the liquid, the greater the buoyancy of objects within.
