The Tree Snails of the genus Liguus
are found throughout the Caribbean Islands of Cuba, Hispaniola and in the southernmost
area of the Florida peninsula including the Florida Keys. The days of these snails are
numbered as the destruction of habitat within the range of this unique mollusc continues
at an accelerated pace. Some color forms are extinct and many other color forms, extinct
in their South Florida habitats, barely survive in transplanted colonies within the
confines of the Everglades National Park.
