Description
Their spiral shells vary in appearance based on genetics and habitat. Unfortunately, this snail is now endangered. It faces severe threats from habitat destruction, invasive predators like rats, and environmental pollution. Because it exists nowhere else on Earth, protecting its remaining Hawaiian habitat is critical to its survival.
