Few creatures could be as odd as a snail made of metal. It sounds like fiction, but it's true! Chrysomallon squamiferum (AKA: Scaly-foot gastropod, scaly-foot snail, sea pangolin) is a extremely weird snail. Skipping to the fun part, it's made if metal. Metal snail. Specifically, the shell and scaly bits (Sclerites) are made of Iron sulphates. The iron in it's body means that the snail is slightly ferrimagnetic. WHAT!? Yup, magnetic snail.
