Scallops can have 60-100 blue eyes. They are not like our eyes. They can only detect motion, light, and darkness. They also use their feelers to notice attacks from predators, like sea stars. They are filter feeders. They eat small organisms. Depending on the species, scallop shells can grow up to 4-9 inches.

I had no idea that scallops had eyes! How long to they live?
Their life span varies depending on the species. Bay scallops are short lived, while others can live up to 20 years. You can tell their age by the number of rings they have.
