Our very new and exciting
Slimy and Legless programme begins today.
Slimy and Legless focuses on the endangered Taranaki giant snail (
Powelliphanta "Egmont") that lurks deep within the Egmont National Park.
Did you know that the
Powelliphanta snail loves to eat earthworms, and sucks them up through their mouth like we eat spaghetti?! (Thanks to DOC for our
Powelliphanta fact of the day!)
When we heard that, we had to learn more about the
Powelliphanta, as well as the garden snails that we find in our own garden. In fact,
Slimy and Legless features some
very special guests, one of whom our educators Keri and Hoani are getting to know in this photo:
Do you have any fascinating facts about snails? Have you seen a
Powelliphanta snail up close? Leave us a comment - we love to hear your feedback.
