Additional Notes:
-The shark is not a typical predator of snails and was just used in the video to be symbolic of predators generally.
-Typical snails secrete new shell material leading edge of the aperture (to extend the shell), not just the inside. However, they are not able to extend the mantle beyond the lip to fix damage on the outside of the shell.
