Then I saw the videos of them quickly evading predators or just swimming around in general. e.g:

- bee_rider 2y agoWhen digging in sand, they are also surprisingly quick. You can see when they spout water out of their little holes in the sand, but if you don’t start digging like crazy they can easily get away. Clamming was a surprisingly fun way to waste a morning as a kid, it is like playing at the beach with objectives. If you ever happen across somebody with a license, I suggest giving it a try.
