The Fluviopupa gracilis is a very small type of snail that lives in freshwater. These tiny snails are aquatic mollusks, meaning they live in water. They belong to a group of snails called gastropods and are part of the Tateidae family. A special feature of these snails is their operculum, which is like a little trapdoor that can close to protect them.

This special snail is only found in one place: Australia. When an animal or plant is found only in one specific area, we say it is endemic to that place. So, the Fluviopupa gracilis is endemic to Australia.
