"SNAIL"

Hi! This is Teena. Do you know how the snail moves? During Rainy season, i will see some snails in my garden. I'm really amazed of watching how the snail moves. To know how the snial moves, i have collected some information. If you are also interested in knowing this, please read this.

If it's really dry and u didn't see the snails, you may just have to wait, for your backyard's snails may well be underground or beneath rocks or fallen trees, in suspended animation, waiting for rain. I found the one in the picture above resting on a slender bunch of grass flowers. In real life this snail's shell is less than half an inch long.

HOW THEY MOVE:
Actually, there's really nothing mysterious about how snails move. An individual propels itself by sending wave after wave of small contractions forward from the back of its foot toward the front. If you've lain on your back and inched yourself across the living-room floor by alternately curving and straightening your backbone, you understand the principle.
