[Sweat]

The way scallops swim in SB is actually the way they swim in real life

I thought everyone knew that.

I thought everyone knew that.

Huh, I only know about that after watching that video.

Stephen Hillenburg used to be a marine biologist, nice to see that he paid attention to tiny details like that.

See, I actually thought this was common knowledge too. Whoops!

But, yeah, they do indeed swim like that.

Wait this isn't common knowledge?
How else are they supposed to swin? XD

I'd guess most people don't know they swim? I dunno.

Anyway, it was one of those details I like so much about SpongeBob. I didn't expect them to actually have that in the show, so it was neat.

I used to think that scallops stay in the ocean floor, instead of swimming around :p

That's really cool, Steven must really know his stuff :)

 

[SpongyDevotee]

I actually thought this was common knowledge too, but it's still neat to know this if you didn't. So yeah, NOW YOU KNOW!!! (Bill Nye reference)

It is great that Hillenburg did mix some realistic marine biology logic into the show.

And that also means that Junior swims just like a real scallop. :)
