Scientists have discovered a snail with a glasslike, translucent shell living half a mile below the surface in Croatia. Just a millimeter across and practically immobile, the snail, Zospeum tholussum, makes its home in a hot, humid cave within the Lukina Jama-Trojama cave system.
Alexander Weigand of Goethe-University in Frankfurt, Germany, described the snail in the journal Subterranean Biology.
