"Nom nom nom"

This morning, this happy snail was fed an apple slice by our taksforcer Alexander, who took a timelapse of the little creature's lengthy meal. These lands snails are one of the largest terrestrial snails. Full-grown, they can reach almost 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter and 8 inches (20 cm) in length. These gastropods are also surprisingly intelligent, being closely related to cephalopods like octopuses and squid.
