5 Interesting Facts about Snails
- Diverse Dwellers: Snails inhabit an array of environments, from deserts to deep oceans. There are over 150,000 species of gastropods, displaying an impressive variety of sizes, shapes, and colors.
- Unique Reproduction Process: Many terrestrial snails are hermaphroditic. During mating, they exchange sperm with their partners, allowing both to lay eggs. Some even use a specialized “love dart” during mating!
- A Home on Their Back: The snail’s shell is more than just protection; it stores calcium and other minerals. It’s grown by the snail and can even be repaired.
- Masters of Slime: Snails produce a mucus that allows them to glide over surfaces, even sharp ones! Snail slime has potential medical applications, including wound healing.
- Incredibly Slow but Steady Eaters: Snails use a specialized organ called a radula, with thousands of microscopic teeth, to scrape and grind food, extracting nutrients.
