Something a little different today. This is an African giant snail. They can grow to as big as eight inches in length. This one was making its way across a sandy trail in the town of Maroantsetra in Madagascar. Nikon D40X with Nikkor 18-55mm lens (at 18mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/640th of a second
Eight inches – wow! That must be something to see. The garden variety snails we have near us maybe are about 2 inches in length when they are all stretched out. How big would you say is the one in your photograph, Sean?
