Witcher3 Fans: This game has a complex alchemy/crafting system for toxins and potions, with over a hundred ingredients you can find somewhere if you're lucky!
Cone Snails: Pathetic. _laughs in thousands of ingredients, largely produced by themselves, that are combined dynamically for every single attack_

They are Molluscs. This means they are distantly related to octopus, squid, and cuttlefish. They just kept the shell. They have eyes. A quick search found nothing about their intelligence, but I suspect they probably beat a lot of fish. (err, eat a lot of fish? :-)

I wonder how they taste. Like I like eating escargot, the basic garlic butter parsley is the most basic but best flavor. Will come snail taste better? How would you prepare it? These are the question the internet doesn't answer.

Geez - I did not know that there were venomous snails. Good to know
In Canada, we say leaves of three, let them be, to avoid poison ivy, but that wont kill you, just give you a nasty rash.

I gather this snails when I was young back in the as I grew up in an island in the Philippines. I just found out they ate fish. I thought they were eating algae. Cool video.

The Geography Cone Snail is sometimes called a Cigarette Snail because after you've been bit you have about enough time to smoke a cigarette stick before your body shuts down

When I was stationed on Okinawa a newly assigned Lt went walking on the coral and picked one up and put it in his pocket. He was stung and died a few days later.

did you know land snail can do something similar but instead of deadly harpoon its a love dart. I wonder who evolved first to develop this tactic though.
reply

From the little I know, since their venom varies, is there a theory or paper or whatever about their internal microbiome depending on their last meal?
reply

I just got assassin snails which don't really go after fish or paralyze anything, but they do eat other snails. I like those suckers.

Mrcone: in todays video, we will be giving away harpoon to animals that are gonna be in intense pain after I give them their harpoons

I toked a J and was simply awed by this vid; like the concept of cone snails like completely blew my mind. Like WOW Man!

In 3: 14 You can see the harpoon halfway out of the proboscis and it looks like a needle if you pause at the correct timing.
