The largest land snail recorded weighed only 2 pounds and was 15 inches long.
All snails are classified as mollusks because of the hard shell that protects their bodies.
The Giant African Land Snail is known to eat more than 500 different types of plants.
Snails are very strong and can lift up to 10 times their own body weight in a vertical position.
It is believed that there are at least 200,000 species of mollusks out there including snails. Many of them haven’t been found and classified yet.
Many people confuse slugs as snails but they aren’t in the same category due to the fact that they don’t have shells.
You will find that there aren’t any shortages of snails around the world. In fact they range number two behind insects when it comes to their numbers.
