 In the centre of London, TWO deadly monster snails were spotted crawling along a busy roadway.


The 8-inch creatures were left at a bus station in a cardboard box with lettuce inside.

Deadly monster snails found crawling along pavement on busy London street.



Huge African land snails can host potentially deadly parasites

However, the huge African land snails, which can host potentially fatal parasites, managed to escape and were later seen crawling across the sidewalk.

They were the size of my arms, said Jamie-Lee McEvoy, 20, who observed them near London Bridge train station.

"I believed I was having visions. Everyone was wondering about their origins. But nobody wanted to touch them or knew what to do.

The molluscs are among the most destructive invasive species in the world because they feed practically nonstop.
They are a severe threat to human health because they carry the rat lungworm, which can cause fatal meningitis.

Wildlife volunteer Beth Crivelli picked up the London Bridge duo and brought them home in a wet towel.

They would have perished while crawling down the streets in this heat, she claimed.

"Until I can find someone to adopt them, they are residing with me in a properly sealed box."
