Have you ever seen anything so fascinating? 😲 We've got duck shells in Atlanterhavsparken ! 🐚 These have a very special history – they have “hitchhiked” all the way from warmer climes to Norway! 🏝️ Once cockles have grown big, they can float on whatever they have attached themselves to. These cockles are subtropical, and by attaching themselves to a bottle, the sea carried them all the way to Vevang! 🌊💨 Andean cockles eat in the same way as barnacles (small crustaceans), by sticking out feather-shaped feet and collecting plankton 🌱✨ We would recommend everyone to stop by to admire how they eat – it is quite unique! 😍👀 ENG: Have you ever seen something so fascinating? 😲 We now have Andean cockles at Atlanterhavsparken ! 🐚 They have a very special story – they've “hitchhiked” all the way from the subtropics to Norway! 🏝️ Once Andean cockles grow large, they can float on whatever they've attached themselves to. These shells are from a subtropical species, and by attaching to a bottle, the sea carried them all the way to Vevang! 🌊💨 The Andean cockles feed in the same way as rur (small crustaceans), extending their feather-like feet to gather plankton. 🌱✨ We recommend everyone come by to admire how they feed – it's quite unique! 😍👀 # atlanterhavsparken #andeancockles #ålesund
