Watch Snails & Other Gastropods

Live-action footage of the brown garden snail highlights the characteristics that make this animal a gastropod mollusk. Gastropods, branchiae, and eye-bearing antennae are further illustrated by the habits and physical attributes of edible snails, glass nails, slugs, periwinkles, limpets, mud snails, and sea slugs. A cephalopod mollusk, the chambered nautilus, is offered as a comparison.
