The Amazonian Snail-Eater (Dipsas indica) is a snake species found in South America. The Amazonian snail-eater depends on closed-canopy rain forest for its diet of snails, which the snake can extract from their shells using its slender jaw.
The snail-eater, like the more than 450 other animals that the scientists documented in their expedition, is susceptible to disruptions that human activity causes in the rain forest.
