Distribution

Distribution of Bulinus tropicus includes:

gollark: We still pay attention to them a lot and treat them seriously.
gollark: I mean, they're mostly heuristics for stuff which vaguely made sense in the savannah 100000 years ago.
gollark: Privacy, because apparently Humanity doesn't care about it.
gollark: Hmm, so nutrient paste with flavouring, then.
gollark: That doesn't really make it "rational" to eat that instead of nutrient paste when we are no longer constrained that way as much.
