The most wonderful of all bivalves, the scallops are the only ones that swim.
A scallop escapes predators by flapping its two shells like a butterfly to propel itself through the water, hinge first, in a zigzag fashion.

  • Cool video, but the description says hinge first, and in every case shown here they're moving hinge-last...

  • @bolddeciever Haha! Depends very much on how you look at it, too! If it doesn't move hinge first, how can it open its shells & swim?

  • Love this video ? Rate, then, & remember to comment !
