The miracle of life can sometimes be majestic. In other times, in New Zealand, it is an incredibly rare snail outside the neck pit of children.

In the first place, officials documented officials in the Protection Department of New Zealand Powelliphanta Augusta Snail puts their eggs. Carneykory Land snails are known as unique mating and reproductive methods covering the “genital pore” from the bottom of their heads. This latest egg leaning feat is more important than taking into account that fine animals are almost completely available.

P. August In addition, Augustus Salyail is also called Augustus Salyangozu after a well-known place of residence in the South Island of New Zealand. A coal mining operation in the area about 20 years ago began to end the environmentAnd many things to grow in captivity to the conservatives shaken to save the snail.

DOC officials near the city of HociTika has increased their true population since 2006. But now only one snails have laid eggs that eggs laid eggs and have seen the egg. DOC has Sent a video Putting eggs in the YouTube account of the snail.

“When we always care for snails, this is the first time we set an egg for the first time,” Ranger Lisa Flanagan said in a statement on Wednesday. “We caught the movement when we pulled the cunning. We turned that we pulled it and saw the egg starting to get out of the snail.”

Most land snails are hermaphrodites, that is, there are sexual organs of men and women. This allows you to fertilize, despite the fact that any other species are multiplied by any other member or as needed, as soon as possible. Augustus Dound, especially in the neck of the neck, exercise their mating with the help of a gender pore. The same opening is the place where the eggs of snails are also.

“This penis is extending the pore of this pore and his wife, and the sperm, which could also save the sperm to create eggs at the same time,” Flangagan said.

Thus, other snails were more difficult to ensure that including invasive species threatening to New Zealand. But the document was able to train them in captivity and began to rebuild new populations for some successes.

Until these efforts are firmly self-sufficient, the doc will hold homeowners who can live in captivity until 30 years. And with any chance, they will continue to learn more about these strange but lucky creatures.

“I only watch the progress of every month, the interesting things they use, and their shells, and the interesting things they do,” Flanagan said.
