These Giant African Land Snails are native to Africa and found in parts of Asia. They are known to consume as many as 500 different plants. Maybe people have tried to cook and eat them, like escargot in garlic butter. Interesting how its known that the mucous from these snails can transmit meningitis. Sadly, I once knew a 15-year-old girl who died from meningitis but no-one could say how she contracted the illness. Her name was Tammy and she was adorable.
