Edible snails which are members of the mollusk family. (They are also referred to as shells.)
These snails are gathered in the low tide area and are a main source of protein for the people on Agutaya island. They are often named for their appearance. For example, the baka-baka snail has pointed spikes around the shell, resembling the horns of a cow, baka. Other snails include the following: bobo, sikad-sikad, ta-bian, ala-wi, kambing-kambing, libed-libed, yangatan, bolalo, baboy-baboy. See the Appendices for a more complete list. When the shells no longer have the meat inside they can be inhabited by hermit crabs.
