Rare Snails Lay Eggs During Trip To Zoo

A zoo near Canterbury says rare glutinous snails laid eggs while they were on the way to the zoo. The snails were transported by car to a location in Kent. Zoo workers noticed the eggs during the journey. The staff were not expecting this. They thought the snails would lay eggs only after reaching their new home. Instead, the snails began reproduction during travel. The zoo shared the story to highlight how animals can react in unexpected ways, even during a stressful trip. The report comes from BBC Science & Environment.
