❓Have you heard of ‘the Great African Seaforest’? It's a unique kelp bed ecosystem that is home to amazing biodiversity, including this new clam species!

Watch out for the clam bombs when you are on the beach!
Sea gulls don't need a razor blade to open clams. They know how gravity works! Guess I can train some sea gulls to be my field technicians in the future!
