Baler shell Mollusca – Gastropoda Buried in the sand during the day, baler shells emerge at night to search for food. These large carnivorous (animaleating) gastropods smother their prey with a large muscular foot and use their muscular rasping tongue (radula) and jaws to devour prey such as abalone. Photo: David Fairclough Did you know? Baler shells were highly valued by Aborigines as storage and serving containers for food and water.
