@IngridHbn@mastodon.online Snails don't have spirals on both sides of their shells.
Clearly this is a snAIl -
@nuwagaba2 @kupac Retracting quickly? So they can be completely protected by the shell.

Thanks for the education. Don't some nails lose their lives in such processes? -

As a biologist, I call bullshit. The anatomy is correct, but I've never seen a snail getting injured by lifting it off the ground. It's not like a suction pad. The only place where it *might* happen is a very smooth, artificial surface, like a window. But there, you'll feel the resistance, and won't rip it off. Also, usually they retreat quite fast when in danger, you don't need half a minute for that.@kupac @IngridHbn As another biologist, I can tell you that most of the snails that appear on my terrace are not going to be there long after I have noticed them. How I pick them up is the least of their worries.
