Description: | This species can be found in colder offshore waters around the British isles. It is a large bivalve that burrows just beneath the surface of gravels and coarse sand. Large numbers of this species are found in the Irish sea. It is preyed upon by starfish but can jump short distances to escape them by rapidly extending a large muscular foot. | 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 |
