All snails are scavengers or because they feed off dead or decaying matter! Also Known As a herbivore because unlike the very rare snail called Steve Irwin all other snails eat plants! The Steve Irwin eat dead animals that are really small like chipmunks,dragonflies,and sometimes new born DEAD possums! Did You Know

The late Steve Irwin, who became an international television star as the host of The Crocodile Hunter, has been immortalized by scientists who discovered a rare Australian land snail and named it in honor of the enthusiastic conservationist and wildlife advocate.

Queensland Museum Honorary Research Fellow Dr. John Stanisic and his colleagues named the snail Crikey steveirwini, which combines Irwin's first and last names with his signature cry of "Crikey!" The snail was discovered in the mountainous regions of north Queensland's Wet Tropics near Cairns.
