Taranis Panope (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Taranis panope is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. Conidae is a taxonomic family of minute to quite large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Conoidea. The snails within this family are sophisticated predatory animals. They hunt and immobilize prey using a modified radular tooth along with a venom gland containing neurotoxins; the tooth is launched out of the snail's mouth in a harpoon-like action.
