“This newfound subterranean snail in the Hydrobiidae family lives in aquifers in the heart of Australia, about 100 miles (180 kilometers) northwest of Alice Springs.
The 0.5-inch-long (1.3-centimeter-long) snail is one of 850 new invertebrates—simple animals that include small crustaceans, spiders, and worms—found during a four-year survey of Australia’s dry outback.”
