Description

Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy..

I was on the ground photographing the daisies and noticed the flowers had some company, a Snail :) Reno, Nevada

Snails can be found in gardens, in ponds and even in the sea. They belong to a group of animals with a soft body called molluscs (mollusks) which are related to oysters, clams, and other shellfish. Characteristically they have soft, unsegmented bodies. Normally, their soft bodies are protected by a hard shell. The scientific name for the garden snail is Helix aspersa. It is a gastropod which in latin means, gastro for stomach and pod for foot or just "a belly footed animal". The body of the snail is long, moist and slimy. It has a shell to protect its soft body. When the snail is disturbed, it simply withdraws or pulls itself back into its shell. The snail also retreats into its shell and seals the entrance in dry weather to protect its body from drying up. A snail is most active at night and on cloudy days. It does not like the sunshine very much. During very cold weather or winter, it hibernates in the ground.
Snails have different shaped shells. It can be a single shell that is rounded, spiral high and pointed or it can be flat. Some people keep snails in aquariums together with their fish. However, they must make sure that they control the number because snails reproduce rapidly!
Snails do not like hot and dry conditions. They like it moist or humid and not too bright. They can live up to 5 to 10 years. Some have been known to live up to 15 years.
Do you know where the snail's eyes are? Yes, the eye is on the tip of the tentacle or at the base of the tentacle for marine species. The snail has two pairs of tentacles on its head. One pair is longer than the other pair. The eyes are on the longer pair. The shorter pair is used for smelling and feeling its way around. The tentacles are very important to the snail.
