INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SNAILS :


1. Snails' bodies produce a thick SLIME. Because of this slime, they can crawl across the edge of a razor and not get hurt. 

2. The fastest snails are the speckled garden snails which can move up to 55 yards per hour compared 23 inches per hour of most other land snails. 

3. Some snails are hermaphrodites which means that they have both male and female reproductive organs. 

4. Snails don’t see very well so they have to rely upon their good sense of smell to help them find their prey. They also aren’t able to hear.

5. Snails hibernate during the winter and live on their stored fat. A snail grows a new spiral every year
