Glass snails
Scientific name: Vitrinidae
Description
The Vitrinidae, a lesser-known but fascinating family of gastropods, are often misunderstood due to their translucent, almost glass-like shells. Contrary to popular belief, their fragile appearance does not mean they are more susceptible to environmental threats than their more robust cousins; instead, their unique shell composition allows them to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, providing a remarkable natural camouflage.
