Most people do not think much of clams ... they are delicious little creatures that we are more used to eating than to observe in nature.
However, this does not mean that the molluscs are sometimes fascinating and maybe just a little scary. Take this video from 2012, for example.
The YouTuber stayed on Topsail Island in North Carolina, when one day he went to the beach early, just as the tide was rising. As waves washed up, he witnessed thousands of tiny coquina clams emerging from the sand just in time for each new wave. Coquina clams are filter feeders, and they take sea water, eating small organisms in it, and then spit the water back.
This is almost mesmerizing to watch.
This is unreal ... and just a little scary, if I'm honest. But still, nature is an amazing thing.
