It would be Bullia species (Nassariidae)... we have a few species in South Africa that are common.. like B. digitalis, B. diluta, B. pura, B. rhodostomata, B. natalensis, B. mozambicensis.

Hi Folks,
Has anyone else watched "Blue Planet" on television on the U.S. Discovery Channel? It is a wonderful series and has some molluscan episodes. I didn't know Alaskan grizzly bears go down to the shore on low tide and eat clams. It looked like they were eating razor clams, Siliqua patula.
There was also a wonderful episode where some South African carrion-eating snails would "surf" their way to a dead fish on shore. Anyone know what these were?
