The African giant snail, also called as the giant tiger land snail, is the largest snail from its family. The Giant Ghana snail is native to the forest of Ghana, Africa. Those snails are hermaphrodites, like almost all pulmonate gastropods. The shells of these snails grow s to \u00a018 centimeters of length with a \u00a0diameter of 9 centimeters, however, there are also bigger examples.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Those snails lives in tropical condition where they do not have natural enemies. Each of those gigantic snails \u00a0lays up to twelve hundred eggs per year \u00a0that causing a big problem in natural habitat for the other, normal size snails that we have used to.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The size does matter in this case, the Giant Tiger snail demolish around 500 kinds of plants and they also eat the stucco and paint on buildings. Those things cause that the local tree snails \u00a0are threatened or to become extinct.<\/div>\n
