In this photo print, witness the incredible gathering of White Garden Snails as they form a secret society to beat the scorching summer heat! These clever critters have devised an ingenious plan to withstand temperatures that would make any Mediterranean coastal dweller wilt. Huddled together on a picturesque portugal beach, these European snails are not just any ordinary molluscs. They belong to the species Theba Pisana and have mastered the art of survival in extreme conditions.
