image creditThe African giant snail, also called the giant tiger land snail, is the largest snail from its family. The Giant Ghana snail is native to the forest of Ghana, Africa. Those snails are hermaphrodites, like almost all pulmonate gastropods.
The shells of these snails grow to 18 centimeters (7 inches) of length with a diameter of 9 centimeters (3.5 inches), however, there are also bigger examples.
