Clams aren't often the superstars of viral videos, but this one's definitely an exception. I've never seen anything like this!
Here we see your typical clam sitting peacefully on a dinner table. There's salt scattered across the table, too. Then, moments later, a strange-looking "tongue" pops out of its shell, which has sent the internet abuzz.
Many people think this clam is "licking" the salt off the table, but that's not actually true. Clams do not have brains, but they do have a foot for digging. This foot is used for mobility, burrowing into sand, and digging around — so while it looks like this clam has a big 'ole tongue, it's actually its foot, which it's using to get a baring on its surroundings while trying to dig into the table.
Are you fascinated, grossed out, or a combination of both? Yeah, I can't decide either… Please SHARE this with your friends, and see what they have to say!
