Happily for humans, the animals which inhabit the beautiful cone shells are nocturnal. Hunters by nature, many carry a toxic concoction which is capable of killing humans; in fact, the venom from one geographer cone (Conus geographus) is capable (in theory of course,) of killing 700 people.
make shells to kill the Germans
They are shells fired from a gun with a bore of just under 1.5 inches.
Snipers sometimes save the shells from there kills. As a sort of reminder.
shells were types of bombs used in world war one. They were so powerful that if one of them exploded in middair on top of you the force of the explosion would push your head straight into you stomach. Even a tiny bit of shrapnel would kill you. If a bit of shrapnel the size of my fingernail blasted of it would pass through about 3 or 4 bodies before it stopped.

Most conches do not sting. Their primary defense mechanism is to retreat into their shells or use their hard shells as protection. They are not poisonous to humans.
The shells of cone snails are shaped roughly like an ice-cream cone.
they live on pie
Yes, they are mollusks as well
They have either a very thin or thick colourful cone shaped shell of varying stripes or speckled appearance. These shells can be very attractive and because of this, may be picked up by the unwary, especially children.
Cone shells belong to the Kingdom Animalia, within the phylum Mollusca. They are marine gastropod mollusks known for their beautifully colored shells and potent venom used for hunting prey.
You kill a dog and use its guts to mold the cone together!!
yes
The textile cone shell eats, other shells, some small fish, tube worms and sea slugs. Hope this helps.
A drop of cone snail venom is strong enough to kill 15 people.... I hope that is helpful!
Mollusks eat all kinds of things. The cephalopods (octopii, squids, and their allies) are predators of fish and other marine life. Most bivalves are pretty much herbivorous, feeding primarily on algae, though some are predators. The gastropods are also mixed, with some herbivorous, such as abalones, and some carnivorous predators, such as moon snails, oyster drills, and cone shells. Incidentally, some cone shells (Family Conidae) are poisonous enough to kill people!food
