Did you know?
Snails are ancient mollusks that have inhabited Earth for over 500 million years, adapting to nearly every climate from deserts to rainforests. These slow-moving creatures are actually hermaphrodites, carrying both male and female reproductive organs, and they communicate through a complex system of pheromones. Their spiral shells grow throughout their lifetime, each layer recording a chapter of survival.
