From USFWS Endangered Species:
We love critters with silly names, and this one is no exception! The orangefoot pimpleback mussel is one of several species our biologists are working to conserve on the Ohio River at the Olmsted Lock and Dam. We have been working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a decades-long project to improve tow and barge traffic through one of the busiest commercial navigation areas in America's inland waterways.http://1.usa.gov/1lzxELE (Photo: orangefoot pimpleback mussel, Ted Koch, USFWS)
