Thought it was pretty cool
I have the weirdest boner right now.
holy shit that is fucking terrifying
I thought clams did really bad against salt, or is that slugs?
FYI it's not licking the salt up.
That little tongue thing is how it moves, the clam is slowly dieing from not being in water and it's trying to find it's way to water, when it's 'tongue' touches the salt it burns it, so it retracts back inside. It then tries it again with the same result.
What your watching is the desperate struggles of a clam trying to stay alive.
You jerks.
Yeah, just slugs.

How can salt kill clams? They live in saltwater.
[QUOTE=raccoon2112;36700658]How can salt kill clams? They live in saltwater.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't kill clams, but crystal salt like that is MUCH stronger than salt water. Plus, salt tends to leach moisture, which is why slugs die in it.

Don't feel bad, it's a clam, it's probably dead now

That was rather blunt.

The fuck...
Now to find myself a pet clam.
My brain cannot comprehend if this is the best video ever or the creepiest thing I have ever witnessed.

Just to add onto what he said (which was right) but high salt concentrations change the osmotic pressure, which is why water will travel exit the clams cells. Think of it as it wants to reach the same salt to water ratio inside and outside of the membrane, and when salt on the outside increase, it causes an imbalance.

Yeah what your seeing there is the clam's "foot" which is uses for locomotion, not anything resembling a tongue.

He got turned into some tasty Clam Chowdah for a hungry person to eat.
These creatures are freaking scary...
At first I thought it was funny but then I remembered that clams use that thing to move around :(
that's pretty gross and depressing
He should've put some googly eyes on the top.
In the related....Holy shit.
