おもしろい事実

A snail's 'tongue,' or radula, has thousands of tiny teeth for grating food.

Garden Snails are hermaphrodites, meaning each snail has both male and female reproductive organs!

They breathe through a tiny pore on their side, not through their mouth or nose!

They can repair their own shell if it gets damaged, growing new calcium to fix it.
