    From snails the size of a grain of sand to the giant squid, the phylum Mollusca can be found in nearly every ecosystem on the planet.
    Did you know that 16 American states have official state shells representing a variety of marine mollusks?
    The exhibition features 600 specimens and cultural items representing all 50 states, D.C., and the five U.S. territories.

  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐌🥬 Banana #slugs (genus Ariolimax) move only 16.5 cm per minute across their slime, yet serve as important #forest decomposers in California’s #Redwood National Park and #GoldenGate National Recreation Area.

    A close-up #video shows one munching greens using its radula, a tongue-like part armed with roughly 25,000 tiny teeth. The #PacificNorthwest #mollusks are also hermaphrodites and #California’s official state slug.

  20. Conus dampierensis is a species of #seaSnail, a marine #gastropod #mollusk in the family #Conidae, the #coneSnails and their allies. Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are #predatory and #venomous. They are capable of #stinging humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

  21. Plebecula giramica is a #species of air-breathing #landSnail, a #terrestrial #pulmonate #gastropod #mollusk in the family #Geomitridae. This species is #endemic to #Madeira, Portugal. Its natural #habitats are temperate #forests and temperate #grassland. It is threatened by #habitatLoss.

  26. I had to terminate this invasive juvenile black slug. It's in an area that's part of an ongoing rewilding community, environmental project. We remove them from areas where we're trying to protect native slugs & native habitat. Taildropper slugs are a native slug species at threat here on Vancouver Island & it's important to do our best to protect their habitats.

    Even though these are called black slugs, they have a wide colour range & most found here exhibit this brown colour, when young.
    Black slugs can lay up to 150 eggs at a time. They reproduce very quickly, which causes their population to grow beyond manageable in a short time period, if left to breed.
    By comparison, native slugs lay only 20-30 eggs & are slower to reproduce.

  31. Stumbled upon this massive bleached shell out in the grass. It belongs to an invasive island apple snail, which can grow to the size of a baseball! 🐌

  32. My brother and partner were visiting Marcos island in Florida on their sail kayaking adventure and took a picture of this very cute mollusk

    “I’m looking at you!”

    It looks like what I call a cone shell but I’m not sure.

  37. 🌊🐚 Scientists teamed up with YouTuber Ze Frank to let the public name a bizarre new species of deep-sea #chiton found over 5,000 meters down.

    The winner? Ferreiraella populi – the "chiton of the people." The strange #mollusk lives exclusively on sunken wood and carries a tiny community of worms near its tail.
