Bizarre Mother Nature

This pile of strange-looking medusa, wormy sand was found along the Bintan, Indonesia beach. On closer inspection, the sand was being churned out by a marine creature. All I could see of it was what looked like a semi-transparent tube in the centre of the pile. I prodded it with a leaf and it shrunk into the depths of the sand, pushing out more in the process.


This photo below shows what seems to be Siamese snail twins. On closer inspection, there is a white tube connecting the two mollusc. Then it dawned on me that they were mating. So this is how little snails come about. So in a way, this picture can be classified as snail porn huh? Imagine their horror as I sneaked upon them with a camera as they were doing their thing, and worse still, post their pictures all over the internet. I'll let you know if I get a an attorney's letter from Snail Land arriving by snail mail of course.
