Some Interesting Facts About Snails
Snails are known to be very strong and thus, can lift up to
10 times their own body weight, in a vertical position (Snail
facts).
They are nocturnal animals which means most of their movements
take place at night (Snail facts).
It would take about five and a half days for a snail to travel
one mile (Snail facts).
Two of the largest families of Terrestrial gastropods in the
U.S., Polygyridae (Mesodon, Triodopsis, Inflectarius,
etc.) and Zonitidae (Ventridens, Mesomphix, Glyphyalinia,
etc.) contain very few pest species (Thompson,
2003).
Snails grow rings inside of the shell as they grow. This is how
scientists and researchers are able to get a good idea of how
old they are (Life cycle).
It is believed that there are at least 200,000 species of
mollusks out there including snails. Many of them haven’t been
found and classified yet (Snail facts).
