Jeremy the 'lefty' snail sitting with Theresa the 'righty' snail. Jeremy is a sinistral, or left-coiled snail, meaning his organs are reversed. He can only mate with other sinistrals. He found a left-coiled mate, with the help of Nottingham University, called Tomeau!!! His children are dextral (right-coiled) but scientists think that the gene lives on through the mother, so their children may be sinistral, or their childrens children. (yes, they are named after Jeremy Corbyn of the Left wing party in Britian.) credits to the university of nottingham and everybody involved with this project! read more about jeremy and his friends:
