These guys certainly had a surprise when finding this huge snail in their garden. And, most likely, the garden would be somewhere near a nuclear factory. It would make a plate of escargo for the entire family. Here is one really huge snail.

Posted by ionku | June 9th, 2008 10:32 am another shopped dickhead (@TwistedPC ) Posted by Anon | June 9th, 2008 3:28 pm @ Toplus http://www.petsnails.co.uk/species/achatina_fulica.html#start “Average adult shell length is 12cm, with a diameter of 6cm. In exceptional cases the shell can grow to be 20cm long…” They average 4″ but can get as big as 7 inches and that is just the shell. Not everything on the internet is photoshopped. This is obviously a pet of someone. As you can see the left side of the shell (facing it) has been drilled and a makeshift leash has been attached. So the caption is made up but I am fairly certain that is a image of a real snail. They can live up to 10 years and on average between 5 – 7 The largest species of Snail can grow to almost a foot in length (Again this is the shells length as they don’t change shells but the shell grows with them.) Sorry about the minor biology lesson but don’t scream fake without doing some research as it makes you look like an uneducated clod Posted by Roberto | June 9th, 2008 3:52 pm Es posible los dichos populares lo contempla: “Con paciencia y saliba se la metio un elefante a una hormiga…en este caso a un caracol” Posted by Roberto | June 9th, 2008 3:53 pm Dicho popular: “Con paciencia y saliba se la metio un elefante a una hormiga… caracol” Posted by Geroge | June 9th, 2008 4:54 pm It also looks like a fake, made with a pork lomb… Posted by Caracol gigante - Videos y diversion | June 9th, 2008 7:32 pm [...] Fuente:http://www.wackyarchives.com/bizarre/the-ginormous-snail.html | Enviar esto a un amigo por E-mail Categoria: Imágenes curiosas, Imágenes impresionantes [...] Posted by mozey | June 9th, 2008 9:12 pm hehehe!, reminds me of this!

Posted by gutugz | June 10th, 2008 2:01 pm To the ones claiming that’s photoshoped, can you please do something about your chronical disorder ? Like : Nobody thinks you’re smart when you cry it’s a fake. In fact you just seem like a gullible naive idiot, who thinks everything that surprise them is photoshopped. Posted by Madison | June 10th, 2008 3:01 pm I found one in Hawaii that was pretty big… http://www.flickr.com/photos/smokingloon/91226740/ Posted by John Thomas | June 10th, 2008 3:20 pm Wow, that is one cool looking snail. I dont think I have ever seen one that big before. Pretty neat. JT Posted by Jorge O'Malley | June 10th, 2008 6:41 pm You internet citizens need to venture out of your caves occasionally. There are a great many things in this world that are strange and weird looking without the help of Photoshop. Posted by dan | June 10th, 2008 7:28 pm when i lived in Okinawa they had many large snails about this size that everyone called “African Snails” that had been brought in by someone to combat a local pest. Unfortunately like many attempts by humans to “fix” mother nature they bred out of control and since they were poisonous the locals couldn’t eat them as had been planned. Posted by hogan | June 10th, 2008 9:22 pm definitely photoshopped Posted by borgin_von_Schmelski | June 10th, 2008 9:27 pm NO WAY MAN!!! look @ this huge snail! http://i9.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/f4/86/0516_1.JPG Posted by Livin_in_the_sun | June 11th, 2008 5:16 am I think this might be in S.E. Asia somewhere, I just saw a snail almost as big as my fist in Bangkok a couple weeks ago, but my girlfriend told me that they grow much bigger than that in the rural areas here. (hmmm, I wonder if they are poisonous?) Posted by snai | June 13th, 2008 2:31 pm its achatina fulica family Posted by liljenba | June 17th, 2008 9:32 am Wow! Reminds me of “The Neverending Story” Posted by SSnS2 | June 19th, 2008 4:20 am Wow…pretty big snail. For those crying photoshop, I’d love to know how that is done! I hear that all the time lately, everything is photoshopped, I have that damn program and can’t even come close to faking something like this!!
