Limpets, which are technically a type of snail, are found on rocks, boat hulls, glued to the side of jetties.
In spite of - or maybe because of - their ubiquity, we often overlook them in favour of assuming they just sit there doing nothing.
But it turns out that isn't the case. They're surprisingly active and adaptive.
