The Giant African Land Snail, also known simply as the African Snail, originates from East Africa and is renowned for its impressive size and adaptability.

FAQs

Is a snail an invertebrate?

Yes, a snail is an invertebrate as it lacks a backbone. It belongs to the class Gastropoda within the phylum Mollusca, which includes soft-bodied animals often protected by a shell.

What is the classification of a snail?

A snail is classified as a gastropod mollusk, characterised by a soft body usually enclosed within a coiled calcareous shell. It falls under the phylum Mollusca and class Gastropoda.

Can a snail live without its shell?

No, a snail cannot live without its shell as the shell provides essential protection from physical damage, dehydration, and predators. The snail's body is attached to the shell by muscles, and losing it compromises the snail's health and mobility, often leading to death.

Can snails feel physical pain?

Scientifically, it remains unclear if snails can feel pain as they do not have nervous systems like vertebrates. While they may experience discomfort or suffering, especially if muscles attached to the shell are injured, definitive evidence of pain perception in snails is lacking, so caution is advised in handling them.
