cone snails are venomous harpooners of their prey....
YouTube - Poison in a Cone
and i'm assuming you (or pjeeg) meant "violent" to other animal species.....
garden slugs seem pretty benign if you aren't a tasty tasty plant though..... |

I do find those cone shells gorgeous, but I'd rather not pick one up unless I was very sure it was dead. We got told there were a pretty common source of injury for diver who pick them up and put them in their pockets. Shell gets narky, diver goes owwy.
And yes, I was referring to the garden variety of snails, the only damage they have ever cause me is when I slipped on one and sprained my ankle, although he got the worse deal out of the two of us. |
