Dangerous wildlife in Mauritius

First day in Mauritius and found one of these huge things crossing our path on the way down to breakfast! Achatina Fulica, to give it it's Latin name, is the second largest snail in the world and was introduced by accident to Mauritius over 100 years ago. It seems that this species can harbour a nematode which can give humans a form of meningitis and can also kill dogs. This one was about 8 inches long.

Danger - I can kill dogs!
