Fregate Island Enid Snail Pachnodus fregatensis

The rare Fregate Island Enid Snail is a terrestrial snail endemic to the Fregate Islands of the Seychelles, an island of some 2 sq km.

The baby snails travel on their mother's (or adult's) back. The snails' population declined rapidly during and following a project to eradicate rats by using poison (successful to eradicate invasive rats but a disaster for the native snails). They are now recovering but are still classified as endangered.
