The Magnificent Ramshorn snail is only known to come from one part of NC but hasn't been seen in the wild in over 20 years. But, this spotty-shelled species isn't extinct!. Biologists have been cultivating populations in captivity, and now they're ready to be reintroduced to the wild. Tag along as scientists release 800 Ramshorn snails to a specially prepared pond near the coast of North Carolina.
