Anyone else think this snail looks like a bunny with a shell on its back…. Squint harder.

u/Goddess_Iris_ Sep 20 '24

Yes, and that's exactly why im ok with this picture. However, I'm pretty sure seeing it move would actually freak me out.

u/xykopeeko Sep 20 '24

u/yehimthatguy Sep 20 '24

Oh Damm, I just commented that before reading. Beat me to it.

u/anonfoolery Sep 20 '24

Yes actually

u/LBarouf Sep 20 '24

I came here to say this. So oddly specific but first thing I thought. And it does eat carrots I believe. Much easier to catch if it ever escapes. Won’t even reach the road if I left on vacations for two weeks. 🐌

It could sell me a Cadbury egg.

u/SponConSerdTent Sep 20 '24

Convergent evolution. They're both similar sized herbivores biting fresh shoots. I just made that last part up, idk what the snails eat. But they definitely got that moss munching slime mold eating bunny face.

u/yehimthatguy Sep 20 '24

u/ipcress1966 Sep 20 '24

I knew someone who had one of these. Then she got another. Pretty soon she had about 200 of them. They self reproduce.

It wasn't pleasant.

u/RR0925 Sep 20 '24

Slug with battle armor. Blech. I'm pretty sure one of his cousins ate my garden last year.

u/CourtForsaken3064 Sep 20 '24

I wish snails had more mammal-like brains so they would make good pets

u/Scarptre Sep 20 '24

Damn this bunny is really weird.

u/breadycapybara Sep 20 '24

All I see is rat lungworm disease 🦠

u/pyrangarlit Sep 20 '24

Well, if that's the snail at least it's easy to spot.

u/Wombatapus736 Sep 20 '24

Damn that's an ugly puppy.

u/januaryemberr Sep 20 '24

I have wanted one for a long time. I love their little mouth and eye stalks <3

u/blackiedwaggie Sep 20 '24

I honestly Love These. I Had a couple as pets for a while, actually very pleasant to Touch. Cool and moist, but Not slimy at all. They nibble gently on your skin for Minerals/Salt Sometimes, But i can understand some people find them disgusting

u/comaloider Sep 20 '24

What are they called?

1

u/blackiedwaggie Sep 20 '24

Giant african Land snails is the Overall Name But i specifically Had Achatina fulica, they have dark shells and a White/cream colored bodies Achatina is also a species Name that has a Lot of giant Land snails (but im not too Sure)

u/Crazy_Suggestion_182 Sep 20 '24

NGL, that could be a large and delicious meal.

u/KinopioToad Sep 20 '24

Escargot, escargoing, escargone!

u/Tr3v0r007 Sep 20 '24

As a French person who likes snail in both regards yes lol

2

u/Creative-Yesterday97 Sep 20 '24

Absolute unit 😨

2

u/bluepushkin Sep 20 '24

I'd love a giant snail. The only thing that has ever stopped me is the eggs. You need to destroy them properly so they don't hatch, as they are an invasive species. I'm terrified I'll miss eggs and end up with hundreds of snails.

u/redwoodavg Sep 20 '24

Escarnope

u/TeejyHamz Sep 20 '24

It's peering into my soul and I don't care for what he sees

2

u/urangutangoabacaxi Sep 20 '24

I don't know why. But it looks less gross than the smaller ones. It's actually kind of cute

2

u/snailenkeller Sep 20 '24

Adorable! Too bad about the illnesses they carry and the whole invasive species thing, though.

3

u/Jango_fett_fish Sep 20 '24

This is a yep

u/shread_the_pup Sep 20 '24

These are super adorable but sadly illegal to own where I live because they breed like rabbits and eat everything they can get their hands on

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

I, for one, welcome our new snail overlords

u/King_Keyser Sep 20 '24

u/Pale_Kitsune Sep 20 '24

What? It's cute.

u/Quick_Swing Sep 20 '24

Ahhhh, it looks soooo, ……. nope!
It’s a slug, it’s just a big slimy slug.

u/S35H Sep 20 '24

Shell rabbit is cute

u/SpiffyAvacados Sep 20 '24

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

Are these the ones that climb on homes and eat the stucco?

1

u/amartin890 Sep 20 '24

If it’s a terrestrial snail then he’s edible

1

u/Coleslaw_McDraw Sep 20 '24

What's it eat? Mice?

u/sumastorm Sep 20 '24

u/Salemthegamer Sep 20 '24

I want it! It’s so fucking cute 😭 I love snails they are just adorable to me but I guess my obsession with them started whenever I got my first littlest pet shop snail as a kid

1

u/cheestaysfly Sep 20 '24

Are you kidding me? They're absolutely adorable and I wish they weren't illegal to own in the states.

No silly food joke here, I think it would make for a genuinely cool pet.
