They usually live in the "intertidal zone", which is the place water floods when the tide is high and retreats from when the tide is low.
Limpets blend in with their surroundings through a process called "camoflauge". Shells that are green, grey or brown blend in with the rocks and seaweed along the coastline and make it harder for potential predators to find them.
Although limpets are small, they have unbelievable strength. They use their strong teeth to cling to rocks, making it harder for powerful ocean waves and predators to remove them.
Limpets have several predators including birds, fish and humans. However, they are so widespread and abundant that we are not worried about this species' extinction.
