Island endemics – land snail: Tudora megacheilos
Curaçao has no fewer than 31 species of land snails, 28 of which are native, meaning they are native to the area and haven’t been imported, for example, with plants and bags of soil from abroad. One of the most striking and well-known species is the Tudora megacheilos, the snails that suddenly appear on house walls or fences and can remain there for days, sometimes weeks, stuck to the material.
