The only place in the entire world where this snail is found is in the Sulphur Mountain hot springs. The park wardens are reportedly searching for the swimmer
EDMONTON — A small snail, at most the size of your little fingernail, lives in the pools at the Banff Hot Springs on Sulphur Mountain, but, last Sunday, a swimmer splashed into a pool, partially destroying the habitat of this endangered gastropod.
“This small snail is the most at-risk wildlife species in Banff National Park,” says the Parks Canada website. These snails, which researchers find by crawling around on their hands and knees, are normally found on mats of bacteria and algae, which float on the water.
