This post is the first of two dealing with the actual day, and features a present and a card as well pictures from the walk we did that afternoon (the morning was vile weather wise).

Today I went to see the rarest snails in the world. These critically endangered mollusks exist only in a little pond in Banff. Since it's a sulphur hot spring, the whole area smells of snail farts.

In other news, I sold another poem.

A close-up of a water surface with green algae and several small snails scattered among pond scum and fallen leaves. The snails are about the size of orange seeds.

🐌🐚 Here is a fabulous snail! 😍

I totally forgot @KateShaw released new episode today, and I just found out it's about cephalopods ... the other other cephalopods.

#BiologicalInvasions expert Prof. Franz Essl from Austria gave a seminar today at #LincolnUniversityNZ. He showed a study of the global distribution of slugs and snails. Natives show distinct biogeographic regions. Australasian snails were different from African snails which were different from South American snails. Yet, naturalised snails (moved around the world by people) were just temperate and tropical. We are dramatically simplifying the natural world by moving species about. #molluscs
