Giant Killer Snail Attacks Taiwan!

September 01, 2005 By: thenhbushman Category: Uncategorized

Well, not really, but the camera angle sure makes it look like a giant killer snail. This shot was taken with my Sony-Ericsson S700i mobile phone with the 1.3mp camera. Not bad for a point and shoot (with the built-in LED light too). Overall, this thing was about 17cm. We found it wandering around near one of the shelters in the garden. We were sitting outside enjoying the night air (after the typhoon) and noticed the Giant Killer Snail. A rodent noticed it too and tried to munch on it but we shooed it away!
