Description
The Helicidae are a fascinating family whose pace of life challenges our fast-moving world. Intriguingly, despite their reputation for slowness, these creatures are exceptional survivors, adapting easily to numerous environments. They possess a love dexterity in their muscular foot, employed not only in locomotion but also in creating a hard, calcareous shell for protection—nature’s own suit of armor. Many might not realize that these shells grow along with them, a perfect fit throughout their life.
