The Great Snail Race

[johnmaloney]

And it is on! The Great Snail Race is scheduled for Thursday May 22nd. It will feature 12 of the leading Nassarius snails in the sport today, vying for first dibs on a smelly dead fish in the 12 inch dash. The race will be taped and broadcast later that evening on YouTube and on our webpage. Stay tuned for more details, and how you can place your wager on the snail you think can take it all.

I checked it out, pretty cool. Those guys are fast though under water, I tried to keep up with a loggerhead once, (don't worry I was a safe distance away and it didn't even notice me as I was behind it) no way could I keep up even in the rip tide!
