Limaxivory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Limaxivory means the eating of snails. Several groups of animals are specialized snail eaters, such as species of the snake genus Pareas.[1] Other snakes at least occasionally eat snails, such as snakes of the genus Contia.[2] The term is derived from the Latin "limax," = slug, and "-vore," = eating. Limax is also a genus of slugs and the namesake of the snail family Limacidae.[3]
