...A tiny brown snail species was named after teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg - because the unfortunate critter got stuck adapting to a planet that's hot as 'shell,' researchers said.
..."The newly described snail belongs to the so-called caenogastropods, a group of land snails known to be sensitive to drought, temperature extremes and forest degradation," Menno Schilthuizen, of the scientific research group Taxon Expeditions, said in a press release.
...Thunberg told group she was "Delighted" that the snail had been named after her, researchers said.
