Field work in one of the smallest countries, Sao Tome, looking for one of the largest snails, unfortunately also endangered. Success! Giant Obo snail, bigger than your regular Giant African land snail - and sinistral coiling. PS individuals shown are only teenagers, not fully grown #snails #saotome #chirality

The #Forros of #SãoTomé descend from Portuguese men and enslaved African women, and were long a free underclass there. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1953, when they refused forced plantation labour, the gov. blamed a fake communist conspiracy and killed hundreds in the #BatepáMassacre.
