Hello to all of you,
I did not post in quite long time, and I do have a reason for that-I forgot my password...This may happen often. Anyways, sorry for the lack of posting, I have a new concept I need help with, I could use two helpers soon, but I am not asking for any just yet-too many of my ideas turn out to be duds...Anyways, to todays topic:
Clams vs. Mussels-how are they different and why?
I have been saving this idea for a rainy day, but behold-it is cloudy! Thus, I will compromise with mother nature. The main differenceis that clams are from saltwater whilst mussels enjoy the fresh water environments. Clams are found burrowed into sediment, while mussels don't burrow into sediment but rather attach themselves to the dirt. You can dig for clams, but one cannot dig for mussels. There actually isnt much difference. I am guessing they came from similar origins, but one evolved in fresh water and the other in salt water. The reason the clam burrows is a difficult concept to analyze, and the only pheasable explanation I found is the clam lives in an environment with more predators, so it has to protect itself.
FAQS:
Which one has pearls?
Oysters are the ones with pearls, get your mollusks straight.
Doesn't one of the migrate?
You are probably thinking of scallops, but one form of clam does migrate.
Also, lets give props to Ming the clam, declared the worlds longest living species, at approximately 405 years old (I doubt its the worlds oldest but maybe)
-Mwahahahahaha-
