Clams live in sand or sand-mud buried as deep as the length of their siphons. They are found in freshwater and marine habitats.
Clams eat plankton by pumping water through their bodies and filtering them through their gills.
Like fish, clams breathe through their gills. The gill hairs move across water so that water can circulate through the clam’s body via hind end of the clam. Gills can exchange the “watery matter” for oxygen and food through the rear end. Consequently, this is how clams eat too.
Fun Fact: There are over 15,000 different species of clams all over the world!
