Locomotion (which we can see clearly in the video when the clam goes up and down the slide) 2. Attaching themselves to surfaces #MicroscopicMonday by @tardibabe/IG | Science Channel | Facebook

The hard clam, also known as a quahog, has a “muscular foot” that it uses to plant itself into the sand. This one is just a larva and is only a few days old, but it’s ready to go! #MicroscopicMonday 🧫🔬by MicrobialEcology | Science Channel

Two muscles—one on each end of the shell—keep the shell closed. To move, a clam uses a muscular “foot” that pushes out of the shell. A clam takes in and passes out water through two siphons, or tubes. The siphons may look like a long “neck” sticking out of the shell. - #Britannica | Bad Science Jokes | Facebook
