BF wants to know why there are clamshells in Phoenix? I told him that whole thing used to be under the ocean but he is convinced that there are desert clams in Arizona. Help.

I hear desert clams are named for Operation Desert Clam.  Their only natural predator is the drop bear, and they are best served with Wow-Wow sauce.

Are desert clams anything like Rocky Mountain Oysters?

He's right.  The desert clam is a harmless mollusc that filters its food from the desert sands. It can grow up to 4 feet across and may weigh as much as a ton.

It's only predator is the desert starfish, which gives EVERYONE the heebee jeebees, and is also the animal that killed Marlon Perkins and his entire film crew.  For which my gratitude is eternal.

I once saw a desert sea cucumber.  Not for the faint of heart.

Take a look at the feeding habits of the common starfish.  :vom:

The desert starfish is worse, because the bastard hides under the sand like the Goddamn Saarlac.

Already covered elsewhere.  Does no good to stand on the toilet seat, the bastards can jump 12 feet.
