snail
- A snail can sleep for three years
- A snail can actually glide over the sharp edge of a knife or razor without harming itself. This has something to do with the mucus it produces
- A garden snail has thousands of tiny teeth located on a ribbon like tongue and work like a file and rip the food to bits
- Snails can gnaw through limestone.They eat the little bits of chalk in the rock which they need for their shells
- As a snail grows its shell grows too
- They can mate when they are about one year old. This is odd because a snail is both male and female (hermaphrodite). However the snails need to exchange sperms with each other to fertilize an egg
- Some snails can live up to 15 years
- People in South America and Korea use snail slime to make their skin smooth
