Some snails are both male and female

Snails are animals with a soft body and no bones. Usually their body is covered with a coiled shell. Some snails are both male and female, so are called hermaphrodite. They have the sex organs of both sexes. Sea snails, however, are not hermaphrodite. Snails are divided into three groups according to where they live.

The groups are land snails, freshwater snails and seawater, or marine, snails. There are about 80,000 kinds of snails

The End of the Beginning: Being the Adventures of a Small Snail (and an Even Smaller Ant)

Physical features - One Foot

Snails have a head with tentacles, or feelers, eyes, a mouth and tiny teeth.


The soft body of a snail is usually protected by a shell. The animal crawls along on a muscular organ called a foot. The muscles in the foot move backwards in a wave-like action. This action moves the snail forwards. Snails have a head with tentacles, or feelers, eyes, a mouth and tiny teeth. All land snails breathe through lungs. Most water-living snails breathe through gills, like fish. Some have lungs and must come to the surface of the water to breathe. The smallest snail is no larger than a pin-head. The largest can grow to 77 centimeters long!

This is my favorite book ever. It was very,very funny. It was funny when they found a worm that went to sleep and then, when it woke up, it forgot which end its head was supposed to be on. Then they had to tickle the ends to find out what end was which.

Where do Snails Live - Facts about Snails

Snails are found in almost all parts of the world, both on land and in the water. They live in nearly all habitats. Some live in forests and deserts, others in rivers, ponds, seas and oceans.
A few sea-snails are parasites, and live in the body of other animals, such as starfish and corals.

Land snails


Land snails are usually found in shady places, such as under logs, stones or rocks. They prefer to live at the edge of ponds or rivers or in wooded areas. Most land snails live on the ground. However a few, such as the large and colourful tropical snails, are found in trees. The land snail uses a muscular organ called a foot to crawl along. The foot moves in a wave-like motion. As it is moving, the snail releases a sticky slime. This acts like a kind of oil, or lubrication, to help the snail slide over the ground. When the weather is dry, the snail locks itself into its shell with a piece of hardened slime to stop itself from shriveling up.

Snails and slugs have a reputation as slimy, repulsive creatures that are nothing more than garden pests, but they are important components of the ecosystems they live in. In fact, most of the pest slugs and snails are introduced species that have come here with the plants we import for our gardens.
Worldwide there are more species of snails and slugs than all the mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians combined, yet they are often overlooked because of their relatively small size. Land snails and slugs are well adapted to live in almost any kind of environment, from high arctic tundra to tropical forests.

The African giant snail, also called as the giant tiger land snail, is the largest snail from its family. The Giant Ghana snail is native to the forest of Ghana, Africa. Those snails are hermaphrodites, like almost all pulmonate gastropods. The shells of these snails grow s to 18 centimeters of length with a diameter of 9 centimeters, however, there are also bigger examples.



One of the world's smallest and rarest snails, the narrow-mouthed whorl snail, measuring less than a millimetre in width, is to receive special protection at its most northerly outpost in Britain.

Reproduction

Most snails have both male and female sexual parts, which means they can reproduce by themselves. Others are male or female, which means the male snail must fertilize the eggs of the female snail. The female lays a cluster of small eggs which she deposits in a damp spot. The eggs hatch into tiny snails that look like adults.

Marine snails


cc licensed flickr photo shared by zenera



Marine snails are salt-water snails. They are the largest group of snails. There are over 50,000 different kinds. Many marine snails live on the sea-shore, but others survive in the deepest waters of the oceans.
Most marine snails have gills. They also have a kind of lid made of shell, called an operculum. When the snails pull themselves all the way into their shells, the operculum seals them in.
The shells of marine snails are often brightly coloured and make good finds for shell collectors. The colours probably help the snails identify members of the same species when it is time to mate.

Land snails


A land snail is any of the many species of snail that live on land, as opposed to those that live in salt water and fresh water.



Land snails are terrestrial gastropod mollusks that have shells, (those without shells are known as slugs.) It is not always an easy matter to say which species are terrestrial, because some are more or less amphibious between land and freshwater, and others are relatively amphibious between land and saltwater.

The World of Snails - Home

They are found in almost every country in the world, and many play a vital role in the ecosystem. This site gives information on anatomy, different species, the life of snails, and caring for snails as pets. I hope you enjoy.

Freshwater snails

Freshwater snails live in rivers, lakes, ponds and even hot springs. Most freshwater snails have gills instead of lungs for breathing. Like fish, they use the gills to take oxygen from the water.
You can see how a snail moves if you watch it climb the glass side of an aquarium. You can also see its mouth.

Love dart


snail











Ronald Chase of McGill University said about the garden snail Helix aspersa, "I believe the myth of Cupid and his arrows has its basis in this snail species, which is native to Greece". He added, "The Greeks probably knew about this behavior because they were pretty good naturalists and observers."



Category: File - :Love dart of Helix aspersa.jpg|thumb|250px|A love dart from Helix aspersa (garden snail) compared to a 50 cent euro coin,which is about 24 mm across.



A love dart is a hard, long, sharp, calcareous or chitinous dart which some hermaphroditic land snails and slugs create. Love darts are made in sexually mature animals only, and are used as part of the sequence of events during courtship, before actual mating takes place. Darts are quite large compared to the size of the animal: in the case of the semi slug genus Parmarion, the length of a dart can be up to one fifth that of the semi slug's foot.



Prior to copulation, each of the two snails (or slugs) attempt to "shoot" one or more darts into the other snail (or slug). There is no organ to receive the dart; this action is more analogous to a stabbing, or to being shot with an arrow. The dart does not fly through the air to reach its target however; instead it is fired as a contact shot.



The love dart is emphatically not a penial stylet (in other words this is not an accessory organ for sperm transfer). The exchange of sperm between both of the two land snails is a completely separate part of the mating progression. Nevertheless, recent research shows that use of the dart can strongly favor the reproductive outcome for the snail that is able to lodge a dart first in its partner. This is because mucus on the dart introduces a hormone-like substance that allows far more of its sperm to survive.



Love darts, also known as shooting darts, or just as darts, are shaped in many distinctive ways which vary considerably between species. What all the shapes of love darts have in common is their harpoon-like or needle-like ability to pierce.

Gastropoda

The Gastropoda or gastropods are a large taxonomic class within the molluscs, a group of animals that are more commonly known as snails and slugs. The class includes snails and slugs of all kinds and all sizes. There are huge numbers of sea snails and sea slugs, as well as freshwater snails and freshwater limpets, and land snails and slugs.

The class Gastropoda contains a vast total of named species, second only to the insects in overall number. The fossil history of this class goes all the way back to the Late Cambrian. There are 611 families of gastropods, of which 202 families are extinct, being found only in the fossil record.

Gastropoda (previously known as univalves and sometimes spelled Gasteropoda) are a major part of the phylum Mollusca and are the most highly diversified class in the phylum, with 60,000 to 80,000Britannica online: abundance of the Gastropoda living snail and slug species. The anatomy, behavior, feeding and reproductive adaptations of gastropods vary very significantly from one clade or group to another. Therefore, it is difficult or impossible to make more than a few general statements that are valid for all gastropods.

The class Gastropoda has an extraordinary diversification of habitats. Representatives live in gardens, in woodland, in deserts, and on mountains; in small ditches, great rivers and lakes; in estuaries, mudflats, the rocky intertidal, the sandy subtidal, in the abyssal depths of the oceans including the hydrothermal vents, and numerous other ecological niches, including parasitic ones.

Although the name "snail" can be, and often is, applied to all the members of this class, commonly this word means only those species with an external shell large enough that the soft parts can withdraw completely into it. Those gastropods without a shell, and those with only a very reduced or internal shell, are usually known as slugs.

The marine shelled species of gastropod include edible species such as abalone, conches, periwinkles, whelks, and numerous other sea snails that produce seashells which are coiled in the adult stage, even though in some cases the coiling may not be very visible, for example in cowries. There are also a number of families of species such as all the various limpets, where the shell is coiled only in the larval stage, and is a simple conical structure after that.

Slugs

Slug is a common name that is normally applied to any gastropod mollusc that lacks a shell, has a very reduced shell, or has a small internal shell. This is in contrast to the common name snail, which is applied to gastropods that have coiled shells that are big enough to retract into.

Slugs belong to several different lineages that also include snails with shells. The shell-less condition has arisen many times independently during the evolutionary past, and thus the category "slug" is emphatically a polyphyletic one. The various groups of land slugs are not closely related, despite a superficial similarity in the overall body form.

As well as land slugs, there are also many marine slugs and even one freshwater slug species, but the common name "slug" is most frequently applied to air-breathing land slugs, while the marine forms are usually known as sea slugs. Land gastropods with a shell that is not quite vestigial, but is too small to retract into (like many in the family Urocyclidae), are known as semislugs.

Slugs, like all other gastropods, undergo torsion (a 180º twisting of the internal organs) during development. Internally, slug anatomy clearly shows the effects of this rotation, but externally the bodies of slugs appear rather symmetrical, except for the positioning of the pneumostome, which is on one side of the animal, normally the right hand side.

The soft, slimy bodies of slugs are prone to desiccation, so land-living slugs are confined to moist environments and must retreat to damp hiding places when the weather is dry.

Helix aspersa Garden Snail


The species is an agricultural and garden pest, an edible delicacy, and occasionally a household pet. In French cuisine, it is known as petit gris, and is served as escargot. The snails are farm-raised or bred as a hobby and eaten with garlic butter or cream sauces. Their texture is slightly chewy. The practice of rearing snails for food is known as heliciculture.



Helix aspersa, known by the common name garden snail, is a species of land snail, a pulmonate gastropod that is one of the best-known of all terrestrial molluscs. The species has been placed in the genus Helix, in all sources between 1774 and 1988 and in most sources until recently. But in a number of sources since 1990The species was called Cryptomphalus aspersus on p. 244 in the important and widely distributed work Falkner, G. 1990. Binnenmollusken. - pp. 112-280, in: Fechter, R, & Falkner, G.: Weichtiere. Land snails and slugs of Russia and adjacent countries. - pp. 1-312, Fig. 1-142. Sofia. (Pensoft).).



Although this species is edible, it is often regarded as a pest in gardens and to agriculture, especially where it has been accidentally introduced. It is native to the Mediterranean area but has been spread by mankind both deliberately and accidentally to numerous areas all over the world.

Australian trumpet

This is the largest living snail (shelled gastropod) species in the world

The indigenous peoples of Australia who live on the Pennefather River in Queensland, use (or used) a half-moon shaped nose-pin known as an imina which is made from the shell of Syrinx aruanus. This nose pin is employed by men only, the women use a piece of grass instead. In order to make one of these nose pins, if the Syrinx shell is fresh, then it can be worked on right away, but if it is dried out, the shell is first soaked for two or three days in water. After this, a portion of the shell which is near the suture and the keel on the body whorl is chipped out using a stone, (see image), and then is ground down with water. The resulting rib-shaped object is used as the nose-pin.



Syrinx aruanus, common name the Australian trumpet or false trumpet, is a species of extremely large sea snail measuring up to 91 cm long and weighing up to 18 kg. It is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae, and is the only species in the genus Syrinx.

This is the largest living snail (shelled gastropod) species in the world, and arguably the largest (heaviest) gastropod in the world. Although the shell itself is quite well known to shell collectors because of its extraordinary size, little is known about the ecology and behavior of the species, except for one study about its feeding habits.
