Babylonia Snails of Singapore Shore

Babylonia Snails are also found here quite often at the northern shore of Singapore. A beautiful gastropod that are excellent scavengers that will sift through substrate searching for food, They do prey on smaller clams too.

Saw these 2 babylonia snails going for a same spot perhaps targeting for the same clam under the substrate.

This snail on the right started to burrow into the substrate while the other closing in.

When the second snail arrived, the first snail already half way through the substrate.

Looks like the second snail is too late and the first snail already fully burrowed into the substrate.

Better luck next time...
