Summary[edit] Description: Dansk: Rur (Semibalanus balanoides) ved store sten i vandkanten omkring havnemolen i Upernavik, Grønland. Filmen er taget gennem vandspejlet med et håndholdt kompaktkamera - derfor det lette forvrængning. Diameteren for hvert individ er omkring 10 mm. Seks fjeragtige lemmer stikker ud fra hvert dyr. De kæmmer rytmisk gennem vandet for at opsamle føde. Se også sneglen. English: Barnacles (Semibalanus balanoides) at the waterline on some large rocks at the mole in Upernavik harbour, Greenland. The film was taken with a handheld camery by placing the lens of the camera as close as possible to the water surface, thus the wavy distortions and the bubbles passing by. Each individual has a diameter of approximately 10 mm. When submerged in water, the animal extends six limbs in the water and move them rythmically combing the water for food. Note the snail.
