Mussels are blind. Mussels are immobile. They are
essentially living water pumps, filtering food out of the water
as it passes. How these creatures reproduce and colonize new territories
is one of natural history's most surprising stories. Subterfuge, mimicry,
and enticement; there's a lot going on under the surface. The complexities
of the reproductive behavior of freshwater mussels are just now being
revealed to science. New discoveries are made every year.
Astonishing adaptations.
Freshwater mussels present a
breathtaking display of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
And for every angler that's ever struggled to lure in a fish, this
is something you simply must see!
