Flamingo Tongue Snail – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Flamingo Tongue Snail:
The Flamingo Tongue Snail is a marine gastropod member of the family Ovulidae. It lives in the sub-tidal zones of the Caribbean and South Atlantic Oceans. They are fairly small – only about 1 inch long. Unlike nudibranchs, flamingo tongue snails have a shell; however, the shell is typically not visible in living animals due to the mantle flesh covering it. When alive, the snail appears yellow-orange with irregular shaped spots ringed in black. However, the mantle can be retracted, exposing the shell. This snail is extremely over-collected and this has led to called for it to be protected.
The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil
• Paper weight: 5.6 oz/y² (192 g/m²)

Artist’s notes:
The Flamingo Tongue Snail was completed on 12.19.2014. A few years ago I saw a photo of this gastropod and considered drawing one at the time. When putting a collage together recently that featured some of the marine animals native to the Caribbean Ocean, I realized I hadn’t included a snail. Then I recalled this snail and decided to add it to the image library.
