Snail Named After Steve Irwin


The late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was known for his fast reflexes and quick Aussie wit but now one of the world's slowest moving creatures, a tree snail, has been named in his honour.

The snail was found in the mountainous regions of the wet tropics near Cairns.

The name of the snail? What else could it be than 'crikey steveirwini.'

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
