Clam Caper...

A couple of years ago, someone stole seven of these beautiful giant clams from their exhibit. They were returned a little while later after much publicity on their loss but one died about a week later from the mistreatment. They came from Fiji, Solomon Islands and Palau and their iridescent colors are prized by collectors. They have new security devices installed to protect the clams. They truly are beautiful. I am glad the thief returned them so the children can continue to enjoy them...
