Helix pomatia - interesting information and facts

in #nature8 years ago

The body consists of a head, torso and legs. Upper body twisted in a spiral called turtle. It usually curled right, but there is an anomaly in which a twisted shell left. On the head tentacles, mouth opening eyes. Leg muscular, snail moves involving mucus secreted at the base.

The name 'Helix pomatia' comes long time ago from times since snails eat grapes, and people found them mainly under vineyards.

Did you know that snails are edible? More than a hundred dishes can be cooked with snails ...

I like snails find them interesting just wish they would stay safe instead of moving onto pavements when it rains. Haha at first I thought the article said snails eat grapes and people lol, anyway I have had this misfortune of trying snail dishes and didn't like them which is good as I like snails. Upvoted.
