10 species of snails with 'superhuman' abilities

Snails are a creature that people rarely pay attention to but possess strange abilities such as self-illumination, shooting venom at prey...

1. Clusterwink

This yellow-brown Clusterwink snail has a special ability to emit blue light when disturbed by outside influences. They are found widely in Australia.

2. Crysomallon squamiferum

Crysomallon squamiferum, commonly known as the scale-footed snail, has a shell made of 3 layers, is super hard, and can withstand strong impacts from enemy attacks. This 'superman' snail species usually lives at a depth of about 2,400m above the ocean surface. Military armor is designed based on the sturdy structure of this snail shell.

3. Zospeum tholussum

This completely transparent snail has the scientific name Zospeum tholussum. They have no eyes and no pigment in their shell or flesh. This species of snail was discovered 900m underground, in a cave system in Croatia.

4. A species of snail that lives in Australia

A species of snail living in Australia often jumps to hide from enemies instead of cowering in its shell like other snails. When they encounter an enemy, they will extend their mucus-covered prosthetic leg and jump continuously to a safe place to hide.

5. Purple snail

This purple snail lives on the bottom of the sea. They move with each ocean wave by secreting many layers of mucus bubbles to hang upside down and float in the ocean. This bubble layer is also where snail eggs are kept, protecting their safety.

6. Japanese white-eyed snail

This Japanese white-eyed snail is a favorite food of many birds. 15% of snails will be lucky to survive after being pecked and swallowed into the bird's stomach. After 40 minutes of traveling in the bird's intestines, they will be excreted with leftover food in the intestines and will then be able to "fly" to a large, new land and start a new life.

7. Thecosomata

Thanks to its small transparent wings, the sea snail Thecosomata can float in the ocean. Although they are a favorite food source for many animals such as whales, penguins and seals, thanks to their ability to reproduce quickly, they still exist and reproduce in stable numbers.

8. Snails change shape unpredictably

This special species of snail is common in British lakes. The special feature of this snail is that it adapts to the environment incredibly quickly. When living with fish, they have the ability to change color and even their hard shell from spiral to round to deal with enemies.

9. Snails contain 1-0-2 poison

Apple snails are known to be one of the species that contain extremely strong poison. Their eggs are covered with two layers of antinutritive and anti-digestive toxins.

10. Snails release poison

Poison-ejecting snails possess a powerful weapon, a tooth shaped like a "harpoon" to hunt prey. When a prey swims close, they extend their small proboscis and release their poison. After being hit, the snail uses a "harpoon" to pull its prey. This species of slug can shoot a "harvest" containing venom at its prey at incredibly fast speeds, about 650km/h.
