I guess SpongeBob was accurate
Fun fact: Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Spongebob, majored in marine biology and worked as staff artist in the Ocean Institute
Ocean man!
Take me by the hand, lead me to the land!
So were shell blades in Ocarina of Time!
Sgallops?
I’ve watched this a dozen times and I still have no idea what’s going on
Basically if you wiggle in a fluid you push that fluid around you. The scallop moved via muscles it has, and shoves water down and away from its destination, which pushes it towards it.
It moves by opening and closing rapidly, to suck in and force out water.
Another way to say that is “You don’t have to be graceful to swim”, and scallops certainly fit that bill.
Oh ha ha, here I thought it looked like those gangly things were appendages it was using to run across the ocean floor, but I guess it’s just seaweed stuck to the shell?
Yeah. Dang that’d be neat though
TBH, it’s even better that it’s tooting along
Wtf
Great galloping scallops, Batman!
