Love dart

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a snail? Well, some snails have something called a love dart that they shoot at each other when they want to make some babies.

The love dart is a super tiny pointy thing that looks kinda like a needle. Snails shoot it into the other snail they like to help make sure their tiny baby snails can grow up healthy.

It might sound weird, but it's actually a really important part of snail love making!
