Printouts Clams are animals that burrow under the sea floor. They are bivalves, mollusks that have two shells that protect a soft body. There are over 15,000 different species of clams worldwide. Most clams are only a few inches long.
Clams come in many colors, including shades of brown, red-brown, yellow, cream, etc.
When a clam is threatened, most clams will pull their soft body into into the shells and close the shells tightly for protection. The foot is used to burrow into the sand. Without our visitors' support, Enchanted Learning would soon be off-line.
