(i could not found that, sorry). Could you please provide the source of this image, and some other links, so the information could be verified? | |

| Jan 13, 2017 at 14:20 | comment | added | Cerberus | Your answer provided this great picture, and you explain more clearly how it actually uses pieces of (partly) metal as scale armour on its foot; the other answer was mostly about its shell. A bit more of an explanatory text would improve your answer, though! Incidentally, I wonder why it has a greenish hue, while iron is usually reddish? | |

Yes I know about the conch and it's venomous attack. More proof that nature is just as alien as anything we can imagine. | |
