Gigas Giant Clam Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

“"I got a gigas giant clam! It's kind of a big deal."”

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

　 “Gigas giant clams live in warm-water coral reefs and are the biggest bivalves in the world.
Growing as wide as six feet and weighing up to 600 pounds, these clams can live to be 100 years old.
And yes, these mighty creatures look as though they could eat a swimmer hole.
But they eat plankton instead and get valuable nutrients from an algae they live in symbiosis with.
Indeed, these enormous gents get all the sustenance they need by living face up with their shells half-open.
If such was my life, I'd be happy as a clam too.”

A tip for fast creatures if the bubbles are really crooked and all over the place. That's how you know that its not a sea anenome or a seaweed.
