The Hawaii Snail Trailer.
One small attempt at warding off extinction in the islands.
Hawaii was once known for its snails, or k#257;huli. Most are smaller than the average garden snail, and far more beautiful. Their shells swirl with the palette of a chocolate box—dark brown, chestnut, white, the occasional splash of mint.
