I discovered that my blossoming biology major (I switched to history and sociology because I was burnt out on chemistry) somehow left me bereft of knowledge regarding Limpets. Now that I've been told about them and looked them up myself, I realise I've seen them before; I just didn't know what they were and probably assumed they were a kind of barnacle.
Where else can you read about creatures that use pedal mucus to remain attached to rocks? :) Thanks to YKWIA for introducing the term to me, even if he was using it to make a disparaging comment about someone at the time.
