Hungry Giant African Land Snail Quickly ‘Peels’ Off the Skin of a Cucumber in an Adorable Timelapse

A Giant African Land Snail quite methodically peeled the skin off of a piece of cucumber while eating the vegetable from outside in. This otherwise slow-motion feeding was sped up through timelapse, making it seem like the gastropod was more famished than in reality.

This giant is just enjoying some cucumber.
