Cuban Painted Snails (Polymita Picta)
“Their colours come from their diet, lichen and mosses rich in minerals that give the shells these stunning colours. They differ according to the particular mix of plants that each snail has been eating.” - David Attenborough
Attenborough‘s Life In Colour
[ID: 10 gifs of different cuban painted snails moving around on tree branches. Each snail’s shell has a different colour or combination of colours, including red, orange, brown, yellow, black, green and grey. The coloured lines or areas tend to follow the shape of the shell, creating a spiral pattern. End ID]
