ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Snail

A snail is a small creature with a soft body and a hard shell on top. Imagine a tiny house that a snail carries on its back wherever it goes. Snails move very slowly because they have a special kind of foot that sticks to surfaces and helps them move with ease. They like to eat leaves and other plants, and they mainly come out at night or on cloudy days. Snails live in moist places, like gardens and forests, because they need water to survive. Some people like to collect snail shells as decorations, but it's important to remember that they are living creatures and should be treated with kindness and respect.
