Giant Albino Snail
Given their propensity for a less-than-speedy gait, it’s no wonder snails evolved to blend in with their surroundings — but for one snail in particular, genetics had other things in mind. Recently, while exploring the undergrowth in New Zealand’s Kahurangi National Park, a group of hikers made an extraordinary discovery: a giant, albino Powelliphanta snail seeming to cope quite well with its bright-white appearance. The find is so rare, in fact, that even snail experts say this is only the second time they’ve ever seen anything like it.

They are a pretty awesome snail.
Oooh its skin is so pretty…
It may have been considered poisonous by predators, because it looks as if it would glow
and last time in your life you’d...see one of these…
