i like snails a lot
did you know that most garden snails have shells that curl to the right, and the rare ones with shells that curl to the left are called snail kings?
snails also have thousands of teeth!!
there is a type of purple sea snail called janthina janthina that lives on the surface of the ocean, floating upside down on a bubble raft that it makes!

feel free to share your own fun snail facts!

snels

i don't have any interesting facts about them... i just think they're neat

o: aaa thesefacts r so cute, thanks for making me smile

snails!! when i was little i used to rescue them off the sidewalk so people wouldn't step on them and i guess i decided i was their sworn protector because i fixated on those little guys all summer! i had a cooler with leaves in it for all my little friends to hang out in until they left

more snail facts!!

gastropods (snails and slugs!) make up 80% of all the classified species of molluscs!!! and molluscs are the group of animals that has the second-largest number of living species, second only to arthropods!

species of snails with very small shells that are too small for them to hide in are called semi-slugs!

there are many groups of slug species that are not actually very closely related to each other! this is because slugs evolved multiple different times from different types of snails!

oh wow !!! i didnt know a good few of these!!! im a big fan of entomology and arachnology, but i do really love annelids and gastropods a lot!!!! i dont have any snail facts myself but this thread is so interesting!!!! snails are so cool

snail fact: snails and slugs are really really cute!

someone pls politely tell slug near my front door stop eating my hens-and-chicks tho

When in doubt, fire snail

Huge mood hahaha. I constantly have to go around my vegetable garden (usually with a combination of leaf and stick, or whatever else I can find to manipulate them without touching them directly with my big oily salty monkey hands) gently scooping dozens of snails and slugs off of my plants and quietly admonishing them as I walk them over the stream and out into the woods in the hopes that they don't come back lmao.

They're infuriating little pests from a gardening standpoint, but just from a creature standpoint they're some of my favorite animals of all time. Just funky little lads living their funky little slow lives,,, I just wish they could understand that my zucchini is Not Theirs
