Slime trail of the year

A twenty centimeter snail? Hmmm - delicious! Garlic butter, herb butter, light brown stew - done. Yes, colleague H. has an emphatic culinary approach to all kinds of things and creatures. Snails are definitely one of them.

The dpa had previously dished up: "The slime trail of a 20-centimeter giant snail has led customs officials at Düsseldorf Airport to another 92 conspecifics. The customs officers had initially mistaken the enormously large snail for a toy - until it moved. 'Its trail led to a hole in a piece of luggage from Nigeria, from which the head of a second giant snail was already sticking out,' a customs spokesman said Friday in Düsseldorf." Sounds like rather moderate detective work. The main thing is that the ladies and gentlemen are happy about their coup: "Never before in the history of Düsseldorf Customs has a slime trail led us to smuggled goods. In that respect, this case is unique for us."

The slimy critters, which look like vineyard snails pumped up by a factor of ten and are considered a delicacy of wealthy classes in West Africa, are rather not rare. What the dpa doesn't know, others do: that they can live up to ten years and are fabulously voracious. In 1966, a family of three giant snails landed in Florida; in the end, there were 18,000 animals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture can't stand the snails, which eat more than 500 types of plants and, when they're too hungry, even eat the plaster off the walls.

Feeding them back could help. The preparation is a bit more complicated, because they are much meatier and tougher than snails. The live snails from the case were given to the animal rescue service of the city of Düsseldorf. Bon appétit.

Snail of the Day: Alviniconcha strummeri

‘Punk rock’ snail named for the Clash’s Joe Strummer

Scientists have named a spiky shelled, deep-sea snail after Joe Strummer, the late lead vocalist and guitarist from the famed British punk band the Clash. The researchers say the name highlights the “hardcore” nature of the snail, now known as Alviniconcha strummeri, which lives in one of the hottest, most acidic environments on the planet -- right up against hydrothermal vents in the Indian and western Pacific oceans.

A paper describing the Joe Strummer snail and four similar species was published this month in the journal Systematics and Biodiversity.

“I do a lot of outreach, and when I talk to kids I always tell them these snails are punk rock,” said Shannon Johnson, a scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the lead author on the paper. “So, when it came time to name them, we were like -- we should totally name them after a punk rocker.” Johnson said the team chose Strummer not just because of his iconic punk status, but also because he was an environmentalist who strove to be a carbon-neutral artist.

“The deep sea is the biggest unexplored environment in the world,” she said.

Alviniconcha strummeri and the other snails named in the paper are what are called cryptic species, meaning it is impossible to tell them apart by looks alone. They have relatively thin shells, and grow quite large --somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a softball. The color of their shells changes depending on the chemical makeup of their environment. They have been found as deep as 11,500 feet beneath the ocean surface and as shallow as 1,150 feet. But specimens have never survived a journey to the surface. “Their proteins are unfolding by the time we get them up,” said Johnson.

Most Alviniconcha are found in piles around the deep-sea vents, eating the microbes that mine the chemicals shooting into the water for energy. Scientists are not sure why the snails’ shells are so spiky, but Johnson said one thought is that it increases the surface area of the shell, allowing more bacteria to grow on it. “These guys are covered in bacteria, but we don’t know what they are doing with it,” she said.

However, there is no denying that the spikes add to the punk-rock look of the snail. Strummer, who died in 2002, is not the first musician to have an animal named after him. For example, in June 2013, scientists named an ancient, giant lizard after the “lizard king” Jim Morrison.
