Snails that shoot poison darts
Cone snails hunt prey by shooting harpoon-like poisonous darts at them. The toxins of some species can kill humans - but are a great hope in biomedical research. Cone snails are threatened through habitat loss and exploitative collecting mainly for their picturesque shells.
