Pradoxa Confirmata (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pradoxa confirmata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. Snail is a common name for almost all members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have coiled shells in the adult stage. When the word is used in a general sense, it includes sea snails, land snails and freshwater snails. Otherwise snail-like creatures that lack a shell (or have only a very small one) are called slugs. One species of land snail, the Giant African Snail, can grow 15 inches (39.3 cm.) from snout to tail, and weigh 2 lbs. The largest living species of sea snail is Syrinx aruanus which has a shell that can measure up 91 cm in length, and the whole animal with the shell can weigh up to 18 kg (40 lbs). Snails can be found in a wide range of environments including ditches, deserts, and the abyssal depths of the sea.
