The Fight Between the Snipe and the Clam (Chinese: 鹬蚌相争; pinyin: Yù Bàng Xiāng Zhēng), also translated as Snipe–Clam Grapple, is a 1983 Chinese animated short film directed by Hu Jinqing and produced by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

[2] The film is based on the Chinese proverb "in the fight between the snipe and the clam, the fisherman has the best of it".

[3] A clam is sitting out in the sun when suddenly a snipe flies down to peck at it.

The clam slams its shells shut, gripping the snipe's beak in between.
