#SnailPosting
I played with both of my snails the other evening, the first time really since Chibi has gotten significantly larger than Niles. As a tiny snail Chibi would get really excited to see big snail Niles (or any other snail!) and zoom over to piggyback on them. Once atop their shell she would reposition to face front and happily look all around as the other snail went about its way. Then dismount as she pleased…. Niles bore this grudgingly as he does hold affection for his snibling (snail sibling), but would sometimes mimic this behavior in obvious annoyance. This time however, Chibi was large enough he could crawl atop her and wiggle his eyestalks in her face tauntingly, then crawl off in a huff in search of more appy slices. Chibi however was just happy to play her favorite game with her sleepyhead snibling (snail sibling.) 🐌🍎 #snails#SnailsOfMastodon#photography#macro#pets#PetsOfMastodon
Snails of Tokyo museum, two dextral, two sinistral. I'm in Japan to find sites where they are sympatric - perhaps the artist the artist found one already, or else, payed no attention at all to chirality #chirality#snails#tokyo
For the first time in a while, my morning dog walk took me past the Glasgow Penguins and their neighbours, the Snails on the Rails. Nice to see they're still there.
🌧️ 🐌 👍
Es hat ein wenig geregnet heute Nacht. Viele Hausbesitzer nehmen das zum Anlaß, wieder fröhlich durch die Gegend zu schleimen.
Ich werde aber das Gefühl nicht los, Mutter Natur hat nur die Bratphase abgeschlossen und stellt gerade auf Dampfgaren um. #Fotografie#Photography#Animals#Schnecken#Snails
When I grew up in Southeast Asia, my first experience with snails involved seeing the Lissachatina Fulica, the giant African land snail. As the name suggests, the species was not native to the area, but an invasive species from East Africa. For most of my childhood, this gigantic snail was what “snails” looked like in my mind, because they were the only ones I encountered.
