Did you know?
– When they feel threatened, they usually retreat into their shell to protect themselves.
– North America has about 500 native species of land snails.
– Most snails live from 2 to 5 years, but in captivity, some have exceeded 10 or 15 years of age.
– Most snail species are hermaphrodites, so they have both male and female reproductive organs.
– The speed of snails is around 0.5-0.8 inches per second. If they moved without stopping, it would take more than a week to complete 1 kilometer.
– Many snails are in danger of extinction. Among these are the species Aaadonta constricta and Aaadonta fuscozonata, and others of the genus Aaadonta and Achatinella are in critical danger of extinction.
