Let's learn more about oysters

Oysters are sea creatures with hard shiny shells and soft edible interiors. They have gills which means they breath just like fishes, I keep wondering where these gills are located though. Oysters are vegetarians, they ain't carnivorous as they eat algae filtered from the waters.

Oysters are very sensitive and receptive to their environments as they breathe and keep their mouths open when in water but tighten their mouths so well when taken out of water as you can see below. Some have their mouths open already
