The Apple Snail is a freshwater snail belonging to the family Ampullariidae. It is known for its large, round shell, which can vary in color from yellow to brown. These snails are commonly found in slow-moving waters, such as ponds and marshes, and are native to regions in South America and Southeast Asia. Apple Snails are herbivorous, primarily feeding on aquatic plants and algae. They play a role in their ecosystem by helping to control plant growth. However, some species, like the Pomacea canaliculata, are considered invasive in certain areas, posing a threat to local biodiversity and agriculture.
