Creature Feature: The invasive #GiantAfricanLandSnail

By Anna Stephenson , July 20, 2022

#The giant African land snail, according to invasivespeciesinfo.gov, was first introduced to Hawaii in 1936 because they were imported for educational purposes, as pets or in cargo. Since then, it has become an #invasive species and an agricultural pest.

"Another unintended consequence of #GALS is the introduction of the rosy wolf snail to Hawaii. According to the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, rosy wolf snails were deliberately introduced in the 1950s in the hopes they would eat GALS, who were eating too many crops.

"The rosy wolf snail, DLNR states on its Snail Extinction Prevention Program website, then went on to eat endangered native #Hawaiian snails instead, driving some to #extinction.

The giant African land snail (GALS), Henry sitting on a leaf of lettuce on the palm of my hand. Henry is extending from his shell and dramatically climbing over the back third of his shell.

The giant African land snail (GALS), Henry sitting on a leaf of lettuce on the palm of my hand. Henry is extending from his shell and turning to the left and dramatically flaring his pseudo-foot showing beneath it. Look at him nearly touching the end of his conical shell.

I was watching Netflix last night and held Henry in my hand. He wouldn't come off the leaf of lettuce! I guess it is preferable to my skin?

I'm back on queer.party so here's my re- #introduction!

I'm Wolfie (they/them), I'm white British, agender, mid 30s, live in the South of England and am very online!

I have a few alt mastodon accounts (check my profile for links!) but use them rarely, over here I post my daily #Wordle, I live post during #Eurovision, I'm #asexual :asexual_flag: , #polyamorous :polyamory:  and #gay as heck :100_gay:

I have unusual pets, a #snake, a #RoyalPython called Seraphina 🐍, and several #GALS, (giant african #snails) who I occasionally post about 🐌

I did #Zoology at university and I love unusual, "ugly" and interesting animals!

I'm an old school social media person, I only follow as many people as I can keep up with on my feed as I like to see every post, I have follow requests on and approve them haphazardly!

We have new people so here's my re- #introduction!
