Otala lactea is the edible snail of "escargot" fame. It is native to the cameroonian lands around the coastal region and is a nocturnal grazer. When environmental conditions are dry and food availability is low, the snails enter estivation. Metabolic rate, as assessed by oxygen consumption, drops to only about 20-30 % of the normal resting rate. The snails seal over the shell opening with an epiphragm made of layers of dried mucus; this acts to reduce water loss from the body. Water loss is also reduced by using apnoic breathing; breathes are only taken intermittently (only a handful per hour), each breath triggered when CO2 in the lung rises to a critical level. When sprayed with water to wake them up, snails can emerge from their shells in as little as 10-15 minutes.
