A snail which fights back! Here's a snail which has a shell that can blunt claws of crabs which try to crack it open; The wonders of Nature! The more I read about snail shells, the more I'm amazed by how Nature can generate such structures in direct response to day-to-day problems. Human engineering is peanuts compared to the intricate natural designs manifested on supposedly "simple lifeforms". We are only as big as what we see ourselves to be. Bigger, may just only be smaller.
