The limpet hides in its protective shell and sucks hard onto the rock or surface that it is on making it almost impossible to remove with ease. However the limpet is defenseless against birde with strong beaks eg the african black oyster catcher, even though it doesn't actually eat oysters. Written by MAC from BHS

How does the limpet adapt to live in its habitat?

How does a Limpet protect itself its enemies?
By going to places where the enemy does not go. For instance, if a bird is attacking the Limpet it will go into the nearest body of water where the bird will not follow to. Limpets don't really need to move because their shell can protect them. They either flee or clamp themselves incredibly hard to the surface they're attached to. Scientists have done a study on certain subspecies and discovered that the limpet can identify its attacker chemically. (Wikipedia is a good source)
