Limpets move around the shore on a muscular foot much like a garden snail. As they slide along they lick the rock with their rough tongue called a radula to remove algae and young seaweeds from the rock to eat. The tiny teeth that stud the radula are made of the strongest biological material on the planet, a mineral-protein composite that is stronger than both spider silk and all but the strongest man-made materials. Photographed at Freshwater west beach, Castlemartin.
