This wee creature is the endangered Banff Springs Snail. It's luxuriating in the spring water at the Cave and Basin springs, which is rich in hydrogen sulfide and low in oxygen.
Because of the snail, this pool is unavailable for bathing. Fortunately, the Banff Upper Hot Springs were open for an enjoyable soak.
