...last year with a friend we was in Phuket and we put out of the room some
cowries wating to clean because the mollusck dead was still inside, and
make too much smell...
I come inside the room to change my clothes and in the meanwhile I have seen
walking outside...I come out and I have seen a dog eat the cowries....some
was beautiful gangranosa rentsiii...other was common moneta;
the shell was of my friend and he was very very angry...I have told him that
he was very lucky because I should be the first shell collector to have
cowries...ex-canis....
