Conus devorsinei is a type of sea snail. It's a mollusk that lives in the ocean. These snails belong to a group called Conidae, which are also known as cone snails or cone shells.
Cone snails are special because they are predators. This means they hunt other small creatures for food. They are also venomous, which means they can deliver a "sting" using their venom. This sting can affect humans, so it's important to be careful around them.
About This Snail
The shell of the Conus devorsinei snail is usually between 29 and 37 millimeters long. That's about the length of a small paperclip or a little over an inch.
Where It Lives
This type of cone snail lives only in Australia. You can find it off the coast of Queensland, which is a state in northeastern Australia. When an animal or plant lives only in one specific area, it is called endemic to that place.
