Imagen de bivalvo Family Cardiidae. This public domain image comes from a National Park Service article. There are several species of cockles that live in the sandy shoals of Cape Lookout. These bivalves bury themselves in the sand with a muscular foot and filter out organic particles from the water to eat. They can also use that foot to leap along the bottom of the ocean to escape a predator.
