McSnaily

Of all my labs, I'd say next to disecting a frog, this was the most disturbing o.o ; Not only did I touch the sliminess of the snail, but we also had to look at the intent detail of the snail. I've learned that snails actual have eyes, noses, and a mouth. They're just not in the same place as humans. We also had to watch the interactions between two snails. Surprisingly, the two snails began to interact very quickly. They didn't immediately go towards each other, but it only took matters of 30 seconds to a minute for them to go to each other and begin interacting. I learned that there can be many details from a bug so small. Also, i learned that they move at the speed of 3mph. however ; i wasnt able to find out why eventhough i wish i had. These are the slimey details of the cephalopod :D
