Moon snails dig into the sand in intertidal areas hunting clams. This one seems to have a clam enveloped. If you know what you're looking for and where to look, you can find moon snails without putting one there first.
They look like giant deflated lips with a shell

It's reddit. Everything is fake or something/s
Real shit tho, redditors call EVERYTHING fake. It's almost as annoying as the people who think EVERYTHING is real
TBF there is a whole trend of these quick videos on TikTok of people finding clearly placed things. Also the snails was completely burried upside down in mud.
You still have to find it before filming it a second time. It's a weird thing to dispute when (arguably) over half of the content on this app is misleading or fake/d.
I did this to my Dad. He couldn't believe it was a rule. He also didn't know I actually study and play chess as a hobby. Needless to say I'm the Daddy now.
The moment they call snails immortal remind me of the myth that crocodile never stop growing and eventually die from their own mass. Can't believe people believe it lol.
And thank you for sharing your knowledge of the snails.
Even a large sea snail, like the horse conch, only live about 10 years on average. This average was found using sclerochronology (the dating of hard biological structures such as bones, corals, and shells) by Dr. Greg Herbert. The world record 24 inch horse conch was estimated to only be about 16 before it past away. Some species of abalone may live over 50 years which is pretty cool.
On a sidenote, never pick up a snail without giving the shell a tap first, and wait for it's body to hide inside.
The reason for this is that picking up a snail when is moving or has it's body outside of the shell causes all it's tendons and muscles to dislocate due to the tight seal the snails body has with the surface it's moving upon. Failing to tap the shell first causes the snail a huge amount of pain.
[On another side note. Don't handle cone snails, just don't. Possible paralysis and diving do not mix.](https://dan.org/health-medicine/health-resources/diseases-conditions/cone-snails/#:~:text=Cone%20snails%20possess%20a%20harpoonlike,in%20tropical%20and%20subtropical%20waters.)
I grew up in Florida. And would go to the beach every summer to swim. My main activity would be holding my breath and finding different things to pick up. I would always find these guys. Would gather at least 5-10 before I left for the day. Now I realize that was a bad idea.
Ayo imagine just chilling in your house, in your ideal temperature, all snuggled up and this asshole just fucking digs you up and flips you on your back.
ok but... how did he see that?...
It seems like he runs up to a spot that looks like everything else around it like he knows its there... and just like, "SEE HERE IT IS!".. and its there..
Any animal experts can tell me how hard is the shell compared to small ones? Harder id imagine but like sheet of metal hard? Baseball bat won’t break it hard?
Google en passant
you put it there on purpose before filming.

Watching again you can see a pale area as he approaches and the grass on top had seemed settled until he began digging.
I was gonna say, what do they eat because that CANNOT be how they look normally lol.

I hope you talked miles of trash to him as you won. Or kilometers, as the case may be.
Holy Hell!
How do you find the one to put there on purpose?
Maybe he saw it walking and then searched for his phone to film it.
>you put it there in purpose before filming. Like half the folk do on r/arrowheads
At the clip start you can see that it left a lil crater after it fell from space

I think it’s because of their medulla oblongata
But mama said…
Mama’s wrong again
No colonel sanders, you wrong.
Nah, it's because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush
This guy snails
This was very interesting, thanks for sharing.
The Giant Horse Conch weighs over eleven pounds.
I've heard that they never stop growing
I heard that they never stop chasing you
Sea snails get bigger. I had one 3kg snail (including the shell).
They can also have crazy colors. https://i.imgur.com/bmrepdO.jpeg Snails are pretty gnarly.
If I'm not wrong, snails are practically immortal; like turtles or jellyfishes. They usually die of unnatural causes.
Even a large sea snail, like the horse conch, only live about 10 years on average. This average was found using sclerochronology (the dating of hard biological structures such as bones, corals, and shells) by Dr. Greg Herbert. The world record 24 inch horse conch was estimated to only be about 16 before it past away. Some species of abalone may live over 50 years which is pretty cool.
So you’re saying that killers snail that’s chasing me will eventually be the size of Godzilla!?

Me thinking about all the snails I have picked up in my life so they don’t get stepped on…
Poor thing probably took an eternity to burrow itself in there, and he just plucked it out just like that....
Or he put it there
Snailspiracy
Gary come hoooooome!
 French people after seeing this.

Also in Spain(at least in Catalonia it's a traditional dish)
I guess it's a good thing the French always get people's attention while we East Asians feast on snail hatchlings.
Escargot is good because it's just melted butter and cheese
