Hello and Feliz Navidad to everybody,
I know, because somebody told it here, that the reason why Cipraeidae and
other families looks so glossy is the continuous contact between the shell
and the body of living animal, but could anybody explain why is this
contact?
I think is not a locomotive reason, but what then? Something phisiological
like better breathness? Mimetic reasons? Just to astonish the observer?
Thanks for your time.
