🐙 What is Malacology? 🦪 Malacology is the study of molluscs, including clams, snails, sea slugs, and even octopuses and squids. Despite seeming very different from the outset, these all have a similar anatomy including a soft body and a foot or tentacles. These creatures are a fascinating time capsule of the past. Learn more about the study of molluscs from the AM's research scientists, Dr Isabel Hyman and Dr Frank Köhler. | Australian Museum
