Drilling for Oyster
Awesome video of an Oyster Drill (Urosalpinx cinerea) boring into its prey with commentary by Mel Carriker. A small snippet from Mel Carriker's classic film "Predatory Behavior of the Shell-Boring Snail Urosalpinx cinerea" from 1973. I love the sound of the rasping. I wonder if and how oysters experience it.
This is only 2 minutes out of a 15 minute video, well worth watching, especially if you're into molluscs and the radula. The entire video is available at IWF Knowledge and Media.
