Vermetid snail.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Vermetid snails tend look something like pieces of tubing with some long threads hanging out of them. Those long threads are snail mucus that the vermetid snails use to collect food and pull it closer — these snails are really, really lazy animals, and don’t move around even to find something to eat.<\/p>\n

Even if people notice them they do not suspect that it is a snail. But just look closer and here it is.<\/p>\n
