Chef's answer
Without obvious legs or faces, bivalves look less animal-like than other shellfish. But they're capable of a surprising variety of behavior. Scallops can swim away from predators by "flapping" their shells. They can detect light and movement with small eyes that are located around the perimeter of their bodies.
