Decollate Snail Rumina decollata

The Twisty Gastropoda Department has confirmed two species of land snail in the Twisty Gardens. This one eats the other one.

Newsflash! The Department's latest research indicates a high probability that the snail pictured is actually the equally carnivorous Euglandina rosea, a.k.a. Rosy Wolf Snail. If so, the total number of snail species in Twisty Gardens has skyrocketted to three!
