Large snails, as big as rats, have invaded Florida and are eating whateveras within their course. Who'll save yourself the Sunshine State from these marauding molluscs? Obviously the giant African land snail could be the worldas many harmful invasive species. It eat plaster and stucco and will eats every natural thing it comes across. South Florida is experiencing an invasion of epic proportions. Simply because they were first spotted in their state in 2011 up to now 117,000 of the unwelcome guests have now been caught. A lot more than 1000 are captured weekly in the Miami-Dade area. The snailsa hunger is not the only real risk they pose. They release (and by areleasea after all poop) slime on streets, developing a slippery mess that presents a danger to pedestrians. Their shells could strike out a tire if you run over one, and the shells become dangerously sharp projectiles if run over by way of a mower. An critical African Land Snail Science Symposium has been convened in Galveston to organize a counterattack contrary to the invaders.
