Summary
[edit]DescriptionFKNMS - flamingo tongue snail (26634440094).jpg |
Did you know that the flamboyantly colored shell of the flamingo tongue snail (a gastropod) is actually colorless? It's true — the vivid leopard print decoration is produced by the snail's mantle, a retractable layer of tissue that covering its plain white shell. That hasn't stopped shell collectors from scooping them up in hopes of taking a home an eye-catching souvenir in places like Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, only to wind up disappointed.
