O caracol ao contrário e uma condição humana rara

É um caracol cuja "casa"enrola contra os ponteiros do relógio e que pode ajudar a explicar uma condição humana rara em que o está do lado direito:

Citando:
"It looks like every other brown garden snail.
But this snail, called Jeremy, is actually pretty special if you look more closely.
In fact it beat odds of one in a million to be born with a shell which spirals not in the normal right-handed, clockwise direction but left.

Bizarrely this may give Jeremy something in common with 1970s pop idol Donny Osmond, who reportedly has a rare condition placing his heart at the wrong side of his chest, on the right."
