Megalobulimus paranaguensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Strophocheilidae.[2] They are native to South America and are known for being large and having a long lifespan.[3] The survival rate of males is 96.7% and similarly high for other members of the species. Their eggs most often hatch in August and September and take around 51 days to hatch.[4]
