Description: | The Queen Conch is a large marine snail that can grow up to 30cm long. It is native to the tropical and sub-tropical Atlantic ocean. Major populations are found in the West Indies and Central America. It is a coastal species, but migrates to deeper water offshore during the winter. The conch is both nocturnal and a herbivore, and emerges after nightfall to graze on seaweed and algae. Other than humans, it is preyed upon by sharks, turtles and crabs. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
