Meet Jeremy, the 'left handed' snail looking for love: Creature could help uncover genes behind a rare heart condition Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3860152/Meet-Jeremy-left-handed-snail-looking-love-Creature-help-uncover-genes-rare-heart-condition.

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.

The same genes are believed to cause both this condition, dextrocardia, in people and to twist snails' shells round the wrong way.
