like structure that is rough used for
scraping against the food it is to consume. This physical
structure is called the
radula.
Discus patulus
feed on plants such as leaves, stems, and soft
bark, fruits and algae.
Snails need to consume large
amounts of calcium to keep their shells hard for protection.
