Squirting Clam Intrigues the Internet

Subscribe
That moment when you’re trying to escape the humans, but they just want to keep filming you.

Oregon fish-flying guide Kate Taylor shares an entrancing video of a Pacific razor clam, and to no surprise the internet has gone full-blown crazy over it. 

The event shown in the video is just a survival technique for the clam, but for many viewers, it came as a shock. 

So here’s the sitch, folks:

According to Earth Touch’s explanation of the event, the clam’s "arm" on the right side is actually a muscular foot that pushes sand out of the way, while on the other side is a siphon, a tube-like straw that moves water over the gills, eventually leading to the jaw-dropping eruption. 

While, yes, it may come off a bit NSFW, it’s really just another example of nature being nature.
