Baseball-sized snail destroyed in Australia to protect crops
A baseball-sized snail with an insatiable appetite for hundreds of plants including cocoa and papaya has been seized and destroyed by Australian officials, who said it posed a huge threat to local agriculture.
The animal was found creeping across a Brisbane shipping container yard and identified as a Giant African snail, an East African pest capable of growing up to 30 cm long and one kg in weight.
