Limpets
You
will find limpets clinging to rocks in the tide pools.
They
eat algae which they scrape off rocks by using their rasp like
tongues.
Their
tongues are called radula.
Limpets like to be kept moist. When the tide goes out
they tuck themselves into their shells and hide away.
They
pull themselves tight against the rock so they don't loose moisture
in the hot sun or drying wind.
Limpets like to live in the same place. They always
come back to the same place after they have finished grazing.
