seeder Posted October 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Quote Meet Jeremy the lonely snail hoping to find a 'lefty'mate Life is not easy when you’re a sinistral mutant. Jeremy the garden snail was born with a rare genetic mutation which means his shell spirals anti-clockwise. Unless he finds another snail with a similar abnormality, he simply cannot mate. And it’s not just the aesthetics of his eccentric exterior which is putting off suitors. His left-handed make-up means his sex organ is also on the wrong side. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/10/21/meet-jeremy-the-lonely-snail-hoping-to-find-a-leftymate/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they come up with left handed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissJatti Posted October 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Should't it say ''left sided snail'' since snails to my knowledge has no hands. Or does anyone else has a better way to describe this unwell snail? Edited October 25, 2016 by MissJatti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
