Apple Snail

The pink pods on the grasses are the eggs of the Apple Snail.

While on our airboat ride, we were educated about the Apple Snail.  Captain Harold found two snails - once for each of us to have.  These are eaten by the bird (we can't remeber the name) that nests in the Everglades. They are almost extinct with only about 75 left (the birds).
The Apple Snail - isn't it big.
