This is how you roll if you are *Columna columna* (8 x speed).

Appreciate the beauty of this snail 🐌, the almost mythical *Columna columna* from Principe. First time ever photographed alive, I think. Ground living, it is apparently predated upon by kingfishers. The shell is about the length of your finger, and also sinistral coiling!

Field work in one of the smallest countries, Sao Tome, looking for one of the largest snails, unfortunately also endangered. Success! Giant Obo snail, bigger than your regular Giant African land snail - and sinistral coiling. PS individuals shown are only teenagers, not fully grown #snails #saotome #chirality

Small grant application funded 🐌🥳. Project involves field work on Sao Tome and Principe, in search of the Giant Obo snail, with genomics to follow. 🥳 . Only possible because working with Dr. Martina Panisi and many others https://www.mossy.earth/projects/helping-forest-giants #snails #saotome #principe #genomics

📖 In a paper published in the Journal of Ethnobiology, Marta Macedo examines "how cannabis was part and parcel of the lives of peoples from Angola recruited to São Tomé and, consequently, of the island's plantation worlds in the late nineteenth century." 🇸🇹

Deve ser uma cena lusófona isto de batizar aeroportos com nomes de pessoas mortas em acidentes de #aviação.

#SãoTomé

PS: afinal isto parece ser comum, os dois aeroportos de #Oklahoma city são batizados em honra de dois cidadãos locais (um aeroporto cada) mortos no mesmo acidente no #Alaska, onde há um terceiro aeroporto que leva o nome dos dois.
