The federal government has proposed removing an amber-colored snail found in Arizona and Utah from the endangered species list.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the Kanab Ambersnail isn't genetically different from other Ambersnails in the region and not at risk of extinction.
The agency released a proposal this month to delist the small snails and is taking public comment.
The snails can live about a year. They are found in a series of ponds near the city of Kanab, Utah, and in two spots along the Colorado River within Grand Canyon National Park.
