The St Louis Zoo recently rescued 34 humped tree snails (Partula gibba) from Guam ahead of category five Super Typhoon Bavi. Kayla Garcia, Saint Louis Zoo Zoological Manager of Invertebrates, tells Jade Aubrey that the snails are now located in at the Zoo's Bayer Insectarium. Garcia says the Zoo has been working with this type of snail for about 40 years, 'we have a lot of institutional knowledge.' (Courtesy Jade Aubrey)
