Snails are the common name for gastropod molluscs that have an outer shell.

The first snails appeared on earth about 600 million years ago, long before most dinosaurs ever roamed our planet.

In the course of experiments, scientists found that snails learn, assimilate experience and apply it in practice, which indicates that they have a certain intelligence.

Giant sea snails live in Australia, which with a shell length of up to half a meter can weigh more than 15-17 kg, which makes them one of the largest molluscs in the world.

Snails are the common name for gastropod molluscs that have an outer shell. Gastropods with a rudimentary shell or completely lost it are called slugs. Since most gastropods have a shell, all members of the class are often called snails.
