Mussel's journey sent on February 02, 2014 (13:31) by Jypka. 30 comments, 1725 views.

, 1/50 f/8.0, ISO 200, hand held.

This is a typical mussel (duck mussel, Anodonta anatina) from Finnish lake. I found it beside the pier one morning. It was not there in the night before. The trail continued outside the picture several meters. I wondered how it got there... Later I found out that it has a LEG! I must confess that I had not the faintest idea about that. Just a small story what nature can teach us every day... #Laghi #Lakes

@ Sergio: actually I don't know what the mussel was doing there. Maybe training to swimming competitions... MrGreenMrGreen

@ Flavio:

MrGreenMrGreenMrGreen Good guess, but not true.
I have been there during 44 summers now. This was the only time that I have seen something like this. So a surprise for me also. :-P

Thank you very much for the nice comments to both of you!!! Cool:-PSorriso

A mussel ... nomad:-D
Very interesting the way - the path he has left.
I do not know the mussels to the lake, marine mussels move, especially
younger fish, until they find the 'right habitat
and are fixed to a support with the fine (those filaments which are anchored to the rocks generally).
Nice document, Jypka good.

Technically the picture, to be honest, is not the top ;-) (see overexposure and also known a dominant violet) but it is still a very interesting document! :-P
Jypka Bravo!

Bel document.
I saw something similar many years ago in a pond and the mussels were huge like two hands joined, leaving long tracks in the mud.

Maybe they were walking "hand in hand". MrGreen

Yes, mussel has one leg. It allows mussels to push themselves forward. Eeeek!!!

Hello Jypka,
the majority of shellfish "bivalve" are fitted with foot serving to them to fulfill those movements necessary (or even to "become hollow" in the sand) to reach their ideal "habitat" where, as has already rightly said Fernando, you go anchor with the fine (much filamentary structure resistant, consisting of hair-like tufts very large and produced by a special gland) to the rocks or corals. Usually these movements are quite limited but it is not unlikely that, in special cases, and certainly limited, possanno also be different ... meters! I have often observed "tracks" like!
A beautiful photo-document! ;-)
Regards, Paul
