I would bet that our human proclivity for collecting shells has put a serious hurting on this species. It might be one of the most direct versions of habitat destruction in nature since we are literally taking away their future homes.

Something did strike me about the end of the piece. It makes it sound like the runt was stuck with the one bad shell that was left. But after all the relocations, there should have been at least 2 shells to choose from since they started with an empty shell.

This should be on HGTV! HAB911 Oct 2017 #1
