Description: | The prickly cockle lives in shallow water all around the British coast. Unlike many coastal shellfish, it doesn't bury itself in the sand, and lives just beneath the surface, where it filters food particles out of the water. The prickly cockle is able to jump in order to escape from predators. It has a large muscular foot that can be rapidly extended to propel the animal across the surface. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
