Armored Snails are the Toughest Creatures Around
Armored snails live near hydrothermal vents, where this is many minerals being spewed up into the water. These snails have adapted to incorporating these minerals into their shells and their feet so that they’re protected from the high temperatures… as well as anything that may want to eat them.
Its foot looks quite scaly, giving it the name “scaly-foot snail,” which is the result of layers of iron sulfides outside its body.
