Snails
Scientific name:Gastropoda
Did you know that snails belong to an ancient group
of animals called mollusks? Snails can be found in fresh water and marine
water environments, and some snails are adapted to life on land. Snails
have many different styles of shells such as a single coiled shell that
is round, flattened, or highly spiralled. They have a distinct head with
a pair of tenticals that can go in and out of it's body. The eyes are located
at the end of each tentical. Under the the tenticals is the mouth. Inside
of the mouth there is a tongue that acts like a saw to shred it's food.
And yet you still wonder how they bread, right? Most snails
are hermaphrodites, and have both male and female reproductive ograns. Two
snails cling together during mating and exchange sperm. The eggs are laid
in a clear jelly coating and are common under the floating leaves of water
plants.
