PHYLUM MOLLUSCA

Wolfsnail

Euglandina

Euglandina is a genus of predatory medium- to large-sized, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial mollusks in the family Spiraxidae. These snails are especially notable for being carnivorous and predatory. They are sometimes called "wolf snails" for that reason. The natural range of Euglandina encompasses much of the tropical and subtropical Western Hemisphere, including the Southeastern United States to Texas, Mexico, and various locations in Central and South America.
