A Live Shark’s Eye Video

By

I saw something unusual halfway buried in the sand near the Sanibel lighthouse in front of Seaside Inn at low tide. I reached down to find a large ball of meaty slime… which turned out to be a SHARK’S EYE MOON SNAIL very much alive. YouTube Preview Image

      I added a link to Seaside Inn up in the post… scroll back up and click on the highlighted and bolded words. I always do that…. when I have linked to more info, I bold it and highlight it so you know I’ve added more info. Fancy, huh? ;)
