The snail at the pond bank
The snail moves along the water's edge beside a group of smooth, rounded rocks. Its head reaches past one of the stones, while its coiled shell rests on its back. Tall clumps of grass surround the bank, and the open background keeps attention on the snail, stones, and pondside vegetation.
How snails move over rough ground
A snail travels on a muscular foot that produces mucus, creating a slippery layer between its body and the surface. Waves of muscle contractions push the foot forward, allowing the animal to cross soil, bark, and stone. Moist places help prevent its soft body from drying out.
