Video of a snail eating a worm
🕑 Added 2021-06-20 00:12:13 +0000 UTCNothing crazy to see here...just a snail I found in my driveway after it had rained. He's eating a worm. Two things I wondered while filming this...
• Do snails come out after the rain to eat worms?
• How long does it take a snail to eat a worm?

This made me curious as to how its eating to begin with. Do they have teeth, do the swallow it whole like an anaconda. Well reality was just a little bit stranger. They have a band of teeth. "Snails and slugs eat with a jaw and a flexible band of thousands of microscopic teeth, called a radula. The radula scrapes up, or rasps, food particles, and the jaw cuts off larger pieces of food, like a leaf, to be rasped by the radula. "
What's On
The snail was in the middle of my driveway, so I moved him over to the side to avoid getting squashed. So...definitely take out.

Is this considered take-away or a home-cooked meal?
