Many people still think that the cartoon character Pikachu was inspired by mice, but perhaps after learning about this sea snail, their thoughts will change.

Perhaps because of its appearance quite similar to the cartoon character Pikachu, the sea snail species with the scientific name Thecacera pacifica is known as the real-life version of Pikachu or sea snail Pikachu.

It is known that Pikachu sea snail is a mollusk belonging to the Polyceridae family. Pikachu’s sea snail stands out thanks to its characteristic transparent yellow body, accompanied by gills and a black-edged olfactory stalk on its head. These two main colors are also the characteristic colors of the famous pokemon Pikachu.

In addition to the black border, at the largest bulge of the olfactory bulb, there is also a blue patch. In addition, this patch also appears on the tail and inside the gills.

Pikachu sea snails live scattered from the coast of Africa to Indonesia and Vanuatu. In addition, the world has recorded them also appearing in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean.
