Hello guy's !!!
Continued from post # 1
Meet me again, of course, in the discussion of tiger skin snails in the next episode ...
4. Its uniqueness
One of the most interesting things about this snail is that it has a variety of shades of hariamau skin, deer skin patterns, and many more features that it belongs to but are not mentioned here due to image limitations.
So with the unique pattern on the shell of small children really like to play it of course by removing the meat from this snail shell. Small children, especially girls, adopt a hard shell to play the ball jump game with a count of snails.
So the other uniqueness is that you can live in two places such as under water and on land. When the waves are by the sea, the tiger snail shells stay in salt water for hours and when the waves and the beach are seen, it will also appear on the beach by breathing free air for hours so that it can be said to live in two places namely in the water and on land.
5. Always moving
If you want to have it, it's easy to get it, by tracing the beach when the water is receding. Then when you will get his striped footprints with various patterns, and you will know from where he started walking and where the end goal is to look at the footprints left by tiger shell snails.
Striped footprints on the ground are a sign of their presence in the area. This snail cannot live in freshwater areas or in hot temperatures, it will always look for a place that is moist and contains high salt substances like on the beach.
When he is in an area that is not runny or hot, the liquid in his body will melt or come out and he will gradually die due to run out of fluids in his body.
6. How to distinguish male and female
Every animal will always have a certain sex, if the calculation is almost 99% have sex either male or female except for creatures that are different from other animals or they can be said to belong to the plant order.
Well ... In this case they also have different sexes, such as males and females, more deeply the author himself is rather lame to distinguish, but there is a way of looking at it with the shape and color on the shell.
Nearly 90% of male snails have large and oval-shaped shells with different motifs, generally shell-shaped like tiger skin. Whereas female snails have smaller shells and cones with a plain brown color, and very rarely find females patterned like males.
Yes .... To distinguish you can see it in the image uploaded on this post.
Males look bigger when compared to females as well as patterns and colors on the shells are also different, in general, male shell patterns are more beautiful when compared with females.
7. Mating season
In the experience of residents who live in the coastal areas they often see that they are married or every 6 months in a certain season, in general in the Lhokseumawe coastal area if entering June the waves are always calm if not affected by the weather so during that period they will married or can be said as the wedding season.
