The word snail is loosely applied to most members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have coiled shells.

More specifically, the word snail is perhaps most often applied to various species of pulmonate land snails. Species of land snails live in almost every kind of habitat, from deserts and mountains, to marshes, woodland, and gardens. However, certain species are "anthropophilic", which means they are found most often around human habitation. Whichever reasonably large land snail species is most commonly seen or most commonly eaten in a given area, that species will usually be referred to simply as "snails" by the local people. In many parts of the world, the species Helix aspersa or Cornu aspersa, has been introduced, and has become a pest in farms and gardens, so this is perhaps a good example of a species commonly known as "the snail."

Snails in the wider sense can be found in a much greater range of different environments: the great majority are marine, many are terrestrial, and numerous kinds can be found in freshwater and even brackish water. Most snails are herbivorous, though a few land species and many marine species are omnivores or carnivores.

Gastropod species which lack a conspicuous shell are commonly called slugs. Land slugs and shell-less sea slugs occur within various larger taxonomic groups, many of which include shelled species. In other words the reduction or loss of the shell has evolved many times independently, within several very different lineages of gastropods.

Although the average person is perhaps more familiar with terrestrial snails, these are in the minority. Marine snails have much greater diversity, and a greater biomass. Snails which have a lung belong to the group Pulmonata, while those with gills form a paraphyletic group.

Good sharpness, details, lighting, and focusing..I think it would look better cropped so the subject is less centered.

Hi Gurkan,

I like the subject .. and overall I like the picture .. forgive me for being a bit picky .. I wish the focus extended off the shell and onto the snail a bit better .. a little more depth of field .. but very nice image.

take care,

John

Hi Gurkan:
