We recently added some new invertebrates into our Olympic Coast exhibit! Polyplacophora is the class of invertebrates commonly known as chitons (pronounced kite-en). The gumboot chiton is the largest species of chiton in the world and can grow to be over a foot in length! They get around using a large foot on their underside, similar to snails and slugs, which allows them to slowly move around their habitat, and they eat seaweed and algae with their ferromagnetic teeth! 🧲 Stop by and see if you

Chitons are a group of marine mollusks characterized by their distinctive eight-plated shell. #kahampasqueenvlogs #chiton #seafood #fyp | Kahampas Queen Vlogs
