The elegant spiral of the nautilus is nowhere to be seen. This may have been the deciding evolutionary factor that made the snail pictured below, a killer. Its form does not indicate function; it has to fight for every morsel. It’s disposition is most neutral below the mud where it is least uncomfortable; the killer waits for the next unfortunate to happen by, anger flares, and it strikes.
