Snails are amazing, although there are actually thousands of different species of giant snails! The species in the video are not Achatina fulica, they are most likely to be Cochlitoma varicosa, which if they are, that is amazing as they are super rare to see, in captivity more so. These guys are actually in the Lissachatina genus which means they are one of the newer genus', whereas snails from the Archachatina genus are much older and look so much different as well as having different slime! I have a whole room dedicated to snail species from all over the world, rare and common; they are just amazing. Sorry, I'm a complete snail geek lmao.

Also, the part that you thought was their external lung, is actually their genitalia, both male and female parts. They breath (and poo from) the hole just underneath the lip of their shell on the flesh.

The eye stalks get me every time. They're just so...mesmerizing.

I love snails so much so this makes me happy 😃 🐌

Some people may remember the news about that kid in Australia that ate the snail on a dare and now he's basically a vegetable in a chair. That's very rare but they can carry parasites. There are just some things I don't eat and this is one of them. Beautiful animal alive!

[brimcnair]

I like that Mark and Mario are included in the show and exude a sense of interest in the work that they do. Yaay camera men 👏🏽

[miamouse]

I live in South Africa and we have like thousands of them in our garden! And also, I think they are kinda cute!

[reversepolarity]

Snails *do not* have an external lung opening on the body like slugs. You were actually pointing to the genital pore :D
P.S. - The pneumostome on a snail is located on the mantle, the muscle that connects the shell to the body.

2:25 I thought they were picking it gently so that it won't run away fast
😂😂

[xjsmxdl]

“Hopefully he’s still there” well it’s a snail so... not gonna run anywhere

[faithlisa]

You could tell Coyote was really excited, the way he was shaking and also the way how he started to talk really fast

[Tousty]

Yes, that one is still a baby. We had full hand size ones in the garden.

[randomname]

Isn’t nature beautiful

Dangerous but beautiful

[DocesReceitasDaGaby]

Never thought I could admire a snail and say that it's a beautiful creature...but you guys managed to make this possible. loved the episode! Thanks Coyote!

[KayDuhh]

I love snails! I had NO idea they could get that big! That is incredible. I actually learned a lot about snails from this video. I didn't know that their shell grows with them. That is so neat. Thank you for the information Coyote and the amazing team! :)

Coyote is the only person to paparazzi a snail.

[smugglefish]

As an owner of two of these guys I got to like it also they grow much larger than the one in this video

[MrAdryan]

He's like a child finding a bug in the yard, he's so giddy hahaha! I love this show! What a fun guy

[woofy]

I love snails! In fact whenever I go to my grandpa's house, he has a garden and I always go out into the garden and look for snails I love finding them and just holding them they are such cool creatures! :3

[emiliavanc]

Am i the only one that thinks snails are kinda cute?
