Description

A snail climbing a spikey aloe plant. The snail is able to move on very sharp pointed needles,razors and vines without being injured because its mucus secretion helps to protect its body. The foot, which is mostly muscle tissue, is the main source of propulsion for the snail. The pedal gland at front end of the foot secretes a thin mucus for the snail to move along. You can see some of this mucus bubbling out in this picture. Focus on back of snail only.
