Baler shell<br />
Mollusca – Gastropoda<br />
Buried in the sand during the day,<br />
baler shells emerge at night to search<br />
for food. These large carnivorous (animaleating)<br />
gastropods smother their prey<br />
with a large muscular foot and use their<br />
muscular rasping tongue (radula) and<br />
jaws to devour prey such as abalone.<br />
