Giant African Land Snail
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the giant African land snail is its size. As the largest land snail specie in the world, it stands at almost three inches high and can grow as long as eight inches. But for all its impressive features, it’s also one of the primary causes of pest issues across the globe.
Being a hermaphrodite with both male and female reproductive organs, the snail breeds at a relatively high rate. And though it relies on a wide variety of plant-based materials for nourishment, it is also known to ingest calcium-rich substances like sand, bones, and concrete.
