Description
A parasite commonly called "the zombie snail" has been found at Lake Murray.
In 2019, a student of Scripps Institution of Oceanography Professor Ryan Hechinger found a snail that looked a little out of the ordinary.
"He was doing some highly encouraged exploration outside of his dissertation. He was out at Lake Murray just exploring and he saw dome high spired unicorn horn shaped snails found in the freshwater," said Hechinger.
