snail
A snail is a type of mollusk that belongs to the class Gastropoda. These slow-moving creatures are characterized by their spiral shells and soft bodies. Snails are found in various habitats, including gardens, forests, deserts, and bodies of water.
Here are some key characteristics of snails:
Shell: Most snails have a coiled shell that serves as protection. The shell is typically made of calcium carbonate and grows with the snail as it develops. Some species have a flat or cone-shaped shell, while others have a spiraled one.
Body: The soft body of a snail is located inside its shell. It consists of a muscular foot that helps the snail move, a head with sensory organs, and a pair of tentacles. The tentacles are usually equipped with eyes at their tips, allowing the snail to detect light and movement.
Movement: Snails are known for their slow, gliding movement. They use their muscular foot to create a mucus trail, which reduces friction and helps them slide along surfaces. This method of locomotion allows them to move over various terrains, including walls and ceilings.
