Helmet Snail Footage Plus Expert Interview

[klausi]

I am very privileged having met so many knowledgeable biologist over the years. When I scuba dive these days and see an unusual organism, I often have a friend who is a specialist for that organism. For the helmet snail, this friend is Lala Calle, a grad student at the Marine Science Institute of the University of the Philippines. This new video has footage of the helmet snail and an interview with Lala.
