I'm not sure how I managed to miss this story before, but Jeremy the Left-Coiled Snail (who died in October, at the ripe old age of 2 or so), who was named after Jeremy Corbyn (on account of his being a 'lefty' snail), had a chance to shine in the spotlight earlier this year. And he even had scientists to help him with his sex life, though all of his 56 children ended up being righties.
In the Wikipedia entry, I am amused by the deadpan nature of the information box in the upper-right corner.
(And, in case you're wondering, there are really good reasons to study genetically unusual orientations like this.)
