Why are there holes in the top of seashells?
so water can go in and out for the animal on the inside. It depends on the kind of shell you're looking at. Some shells, like those of abalones and keyhole limpets, have holes in them naturally, and function to aid in water circulation through the animal, as well as respiration and reproduction. Other shells, like clam shells or oysters you might find on the beach, may have holes in them due to predation. Moon snails and oyster drills, for example, drill holes into clams and oysters and then extend a mouth part called a proboscis into the clam to feed.
