The predatory Rosy Wolf Snail (also known as “Cannibal Snail”) is native to the south-eastern United States. It has been introduced into the Pacific and Indian Oceans Islands as a biological control agent against the giant African Snail (Achatina fulica). However, it is neither host specific nor an effective control for A. fulica and may consume a large number of rare native snails, including the numerous endemic partulid tree snails in French Polynesia (many of which it caused to become extinct in the wild). It has also been implicated in the decline of snails species in Hawaii and Mauritius.
