Dr. Dan KillamI once was asked by a kindergartner if clams sleep. I was stumped, and we actually have no idea! We know many bivalves have strong biological clocks, often showing circadian rhythms in activity. But as to whether they sleep? No one knows! #clamFacts
Keeper of the orb@dantheclamman do they hibernate? like if it gets real cold?
@hi_cial yes, they can enter a long winter dormant period. Some also can clam up during long hot summer months
@dantheclamman so they might dream! thats like, sort of sleep
