Once again on the way to breakfast I encounter a rather odd fellow. Fortunately this one was still in the land of the living. Snails are mollusks because they have shells. I had mistakenly thought that slugs were snails but they are not. Why? Because they don't have shells. Snails have been around since the beginning and have survived because they are so adaptable to their surroundings and don't require a lot of food.
Why do snails leave a trail of slime? You might ask. The secretion of slime helps them to travel over all terrains without injury to their underside. Who knew?
Til Tomorrow, Tweetles,
