Achatinidae
Scientific name: Achatinidae
Description
A common misconception is that these snails are slow and lethargic; however, Achatinidae are surprisingly active and capable of covering notable distances compared to other snails. Their impressive size allows them to host a larger-than-average respiratory system, which supports a more vigorous lifestyle. Intriguingly, they also possess both male and female reproductive organs, making each individual capable of producing eggs, an adaptation that enhances their resilience and spread, especially outside their native habitats.
