Found this and thought y’all would appreciate it 😂 I call it “The Flight of the Scallops”
If anyone knows where this is from please add a link because this is awesome .of many things in this world, i still can’t believe scallops are real
It’s so weird to thinking of scallops swimming, but they totally do. It’s accomplished by clapping their shells together forcefully, which propels a jet of water out of the back on either side of the hinge – do it enough times in quick succession, and you’ve got forward momentum!
This looks like a whole bunch of scallops trying to run away from the potential predator (the diver). I have no idea if this is a normal response since I’ve never dove in places where they lived. Normally, they’ll use swimming as a way to get away from potential predators that are harassing them a little too much for comfort.
