The video "Clam Licking Salt" uploaded to YouTube in early June this year. It has been talked about that the movement is similar to the human tongue. Compared to the salt-licking clams that attracted attention online last summer, the movement is said to be more vivid.


However, it seems that he wasn't really licking salt. The US media Huffington Post reports.

According to the media, what looks like a tongue is actually a clam's leg. Miriam Goldstein, a graduate student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told the media:

"That's not the tongue of the clam, but the foot. The clam doesn't actually have a tongue. The clam was just trying to dig a hole and hide. The clam lives in the sand and soil. , Use your feet to dig a hole "

That said, the movement of the clams in the video is realistic, reminiscent of Fujiya's Peko-chan and talent Laura-san. If you haven't seen the topic of clams yet, we recommend watching the video below.
