.      Scallop is an animal species

Although it does not seem like it, the scallop is an animal. They belong to molluscs, including snails, sea slugs, octopus, squid, clams, mussels and oysters.

2.      Scallops are bivalves

The molluscs belong to the group of mollusks with two shells. These animals have two casings made of calcium carbonate bonded hinged. Two-pronged scorpion animals are threatened by ocean acidification, which has the potential to cause the body to produce a hard shell.

3.       Scents can swim

You almost have to see to believe this. Unlike other tortoises like mussels and clams, most scallops can swim freely. They swim by fastening the two shells, moving the jets through the hinge shell, pushing the scalloped front. Scents are very swift when swimming.

4.      The scallop shell is easy to identify

When you think of the term "shellfish", the scallop shell may appear in mind. The fan-shaped shell is shaped like a fan, usually with peaks and ribs. At the bottom of the shell, there are two "ears".

Scallop shell is a symbol of St. Mary's. James, was a fisherman in Galileo before becoming an apostle. It is said that he was buried in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, which became a pilgrimage and worship site. The shell also marks the way to Santiago and pilgrims wear or carry scalloped shells.
