The Giant African Land Snail, also known as Achatina Fulica, is a type of snail native to East Africa. It has been widely introduced to other parts of the world through trade, as a food resource, as sacrifices in religious ceremonies, and invasion of the organisms. This species of snail has been listed in the top 100 invasive species in the world, attacking gardens, agricultural fields, and farms with no mercy. Adult snails can reach about 7 cm in height and about 20 cm in length. Because of the harm that these snails can cause, releasing these snails into the wild is illegal in many countries around the world. The snail’s shell is basically considered its skeletal system. Either clockwise (dextral) or counter-clockwise (sinistral) directions can be seen in the coiling of the shell, although the clockwise coiled cone is the more common. Shell coloration is highly variable, and dependent on diet. Typically, brown is the predominant color of these shells. This snail eats many things ranging from plants and fruits to sand, concrete, and dead organisms’ bones. Life expectancy for the snail is about six years on average, but can be know to live up to ten years. They are active at night and spend the daytime underground.
