Snails belongs to the group molluscs (Mollusca) and are found both in water and on land. Snails is one of the most species-rich groups with around 100 000 species.The aquatic species often have shells, but there are several exceptions, such as the nudibrachs (Nudibranchia). A shell consists basically of a viscera and a creep sole, called foot. In the front part of the foot there is a more or less clearly dedicated head with one (sometimes two) pairs of eyes bearing tentacles. The viscera can be pulled into a cone, which in turn is spiral shaped and covered by a large lime shell. In the front part, there is space for the snail to withdraw their entire body
