A snail is, in loose terms, a shelled gastropod. The name is most often applied to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. However, the common name snail is also used for most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word "snail" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also numerous species of sea snails and freshwater snails. Gastropods that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell are often called semi-slugs.
The gastropods, commonly known as snails and slugs, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda.
Heterobranchia, the heterobranchs, is a taxonomic clade of snails and slugs, which includes marine, aquatic and terrestrial gastropod mollusks.
Acanthodes is an extinct genus of acanthodian fish. Species have been found in Europe, North America, and Asia, spanning the Early Carboniferous to the Early Permian, making it one of the youngest known acanthodian genera.
Sea snail is a common name for slow-moving marine gastropod molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible shell.
Aequipecten is a genus of scallops, marine bivalve mollusks in the family Pectinidae.
Columbarium is a genus of deepwater sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Turbinellidae, the pagoda shells.
Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks which live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers. The great majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with very few exceptions. Some groups of snails that live in freshwater respire using gills, whereas other groups need to reach the surface to breathe air. In addition, some are amphibious and have both gills and a lung. Most feed on algae, but many are detritivores and some are filter feeders.
Kurtziella corallina is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Kurtziella is a genus of small, predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae. Prior to a 2011 genetic revision, the genus used to be included in the family Conidae.
Carenzia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Seguenziidae.
Coronium coronatum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Coronium elegans is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. It is found off the southeastern coast of Brazil.
Coronium oblongum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Coronium is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Trophoninae is a subfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the rock snails and their allies.
Goniodiscaster acanthodes is a species of sea stars in the family Oreasteridae.
Calliaster is a genus of starfish in the family Goniasteridae
Carenzia acanthodes is a species of extremely small deep water sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Seguenziidae.
Terrestrial molluscs or land molluscs (mollusks) are an ecological group that includes all molluscs that live on land in contrast to freshwater and marine molluscs. They probably first occurred in the Carboniferous, arising from freshwater ones.
