OREANDA-NEWS In California, USA, a student came across a mysterious clam of unusual color on the beach. This is reported by Fox News.
Anya Steiner, who studies oceanography, found a bright purple snail in the sand. She immediately identified it as a rare species of shellfish, the yantina. They are distinguished not only by the bright color of the shell, but also by the ability to drift in the water with the help of a special float, which is formed from their viscous mucus and air bubbles.
According to an employee of the Institute of Oceanography at the University of California, yantins are usually found in subtropical and tropical seas. The fact that this snail washed up on the coast of Southern California indicates a warming of local waters.
