New Zealand campaign seeks rare left-coiled mate for snail named Ned amid global interest.

A campaign in New Zealand aims to find a mate for a rare left-coiled garden snail named Ned. Ned's shell, which spirals to the left, is found in only one in 40,000 snails, preventing him from mating with the majority of his species due to misaligned sex organs. Discovered by nature enthusiast Giselle Clarkson, Ned's search for a partner has gained global attention. However, New Zealand's strict biosecurity rules complicate the search for a match beyond the country's borders.
