Recently, researchers have discovered the world's most exotic snail at a depth of 2.5km under the Indian Ocean . This unique snail wears a metal armor that helps them get rid of all their strong teeth.
According to the researchers, snails are classified into two categories: one living near black hydrothermal vents, the body has a high and magnetic iron content; the other is white, contains lower iron content and does not carry words.
The most unique thing about this snail is the hard shell that is made of iron. These shells are made of iron sulfide minerals: pyrite and greigite.
This is the first species discovered using iron sulfide in body composition. Researchers believe that the instability of sulfide may explain the rarity in the biological structure of species.
However, at a depth of 2.5 km below the ocean, iron sulfide compounds are abundant in mineral waters in hydrothermal vents.
A snail with a strange coat has helped the US military come up with a new idea. They are conducting research to create a new equipment for the army from this snail.
