How Snails Work

Join Josh and Chuck as they dive deep into the surprisingly fascinating world of snails, those ubiquitous gastropods that leave mucusy trails everywhere they go. You'll discover that while everyone thinks they know snails, there's actually a shocking lack of scientific research about these creatures, leading to plenty of gardening myths and misconceptions about how they actually work. From their bizarre body structure (hint: what you think is their tail is actually their foot) to their incredible diversity - ranging from tiny species that fit inside grains of sand to giant African snails the size of human fists - this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for these slow-moving marvels.
