The World of Snails

Welcome!

The first snails appeared almost 500,000,000 years ago and today there are over 43,000 species. There is incredible variety in this group of animals, in terms of sizes, shapes, colours, diet, habitat and more. They are found in almost every country in the world, and many play a vital role in the ecosystem. This site gives information on anatomy, different species, the life of snails, and caring for snails as pets. I hope you enjoy.
