EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness an extraordinary encounter between continents as an African Land Snail boldly explores the lush greenery of Trivandrum, Kerala. With its magnificent shell glistening under the warm May sun, this adult snail fearlessly crawls along a sturdy stem, showcasing its resilience and adaptability. Hailing from Africa but now making itself at home in Asia, this alien invader has become quite the sensation. Its arrival has sparked curiosity among nature enthusiasts who marvel at its unique features. This gastropod mollusk is not your average garden snail; it's a giant! Towering over its Asian counterparts, it proudly represents both continents with grace. While some may consider it a pest due to its invasive nature, we can't help but admire this audacious traveler. It serves as a reminder that boundaries are meant to be challenged and explored. As it navigates through unfamiliar territory with ease, our adventurous friend reminds us to embrace new experiences and conquer our own obstacles one step at a time. So next time you find yourself facing challenges or feeling out of place like our African Land Snail amidst exotic surroundings - remember their motto: slow and steady wins the race!
