Beach Walk
Limpets

[Limpet drawing] Limpets, with a low conical shell, adhere tightly to rocks with their strong foot. Most limpets have a definite place of their own on the same rock, and roam up to 3 feet at night to scrape algae off rocks with their rasping tongue, then return to the same spot.
