Slimy Snails 
Did you know there are different kinds of snails? Some can also go in saltwater and freshwater. Snails can have gills and lungs depending on their species and habitat. They can live for 2 to 3 years. Some terrestrial snails eat other terrestrial snails. Terrestrial means earth and can also be used to describe something that lives on land.
Diet
Snails eat worms, plants, vegetables, dandelions, fungi. Snails feed on a variety of food found in their natural habitat. What they consume (eat) depends on where they live and their species.
Predators
Snails have some predators like mice, black birds, geese, weasels and men. Snails can go in their shells to protect themselves. Birds sometimes break snails shells by banging the snail's shell on a rock.
Habitat
Snails like damp shady environments like bushes and trees, such as you would find in the Frankley School Bush. You can find snails in your garden. Some snails live on land, some snails live in water.snails live under leaves and rocks.
You will find terrestrial snails throughout our bush environment and they are very common. Unfortunately they can also be pests by eating plants and bushes that are trying to grow.
