In this time-lapse video (sped-up 2000%), seabed clams crawl, creep and even jump as they feed in the bacteria-rich mud at Barkley Canyon Hydrates. This is a location where an unusual community of organisms thrive amidst frozen gas hydrate outcrops, 871m below the surface.

This video was captured by Wally II, NEPTUNE Canada's second remotely-operated seafloor crawler, which was operated by researchers in Germany via the Internet.
