Napaeus pygmaeus is a tiny type of land snail that breathes air. It's a mollusk from the group called gastropods, which includes snails and slugs. This special snail is found only in one place in the world: the island of La Gomera, which is part of the Canary Islands. When an animal or plant is found only in one specific area, it is called endemic to that place.
