What is the scientific name for mud snail?
Answer 1Scientific names are different depending on the species of snail. The snail phylum is molluscs.The scientific name of a common garden snail is helix aspersa.The scientific name for a snail in general is helix aspersa.The scientific name may differ depending on the exact species of snail.Two of the land snail scientific names are "Helix pomatia" and "Helix aspersa".The "helix" at the beginning of the names comes from the Greek word "έλικα" (elika), and the snails are called so, because their shell is that shape.__________________________________Answer 2There are very many species of snail. Genera include Helix, Syrinx, Achatina, Pomacea, Acicula, Advena, Rhagada and Zospeum.__________________________________Answer 3Snails are gastropods. Depending on what species it is, it may have differing scientific names.The scientific name for the garden snail is:helix aspersa__________________________________Answer 4Snails in general belong to a class of invertibrates called molluscs. More specifically, they are called gastropod mollucs, or just gastropods (meaning stomach foot...why they are called that i do not know). This separates them from other types of molluscs such as bivalve molluscs (clams, oysters, muscles, scallops) and cephlopod molluscs (octopus, squid and cuttlefish). There are other types of mollucs but they are less well known.The scientific name for snail is Helix aspersa.
Why are snails and octopus under the same phylum?
No, as snakes belong to the phylum Athropoda, whereas snails belong to the Phylum Mollusca.Did it help?
How do moon snails keep warm?
The northern moon snail, scientific name Euspira heros, is a species of large sea snail, a predatory marine gastropod mollusk in the family Naticidae, the moon snails (U.S.) or necklace snails (U.K.). [3]This large snail is rather uncommon intertidally, but is much more common subtidally. This species, like all moon snails, feeds voraciously on clams and other snails.The distribution of Euspira heros falls within the range: 51.5°N to 33°N; 76°W to 65°W.[3] This western Atlantic species occurs inCanada: Labrador, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New BrunswickUSA: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina.There is a sibling species on the Pacific coast of North America: Lunatia lewisii (Gould, 1847).Euspira heros lives on mud and sand substrates in bathyal, infralittoral and circalittoral parts and estuary.[3]The minimum recorded depth is 0 m.[4] and maximum recorded depth is 435 m.[4]The shell of this species is globular and can, under the right conditions, grow as large as 125 mm (7 inches) in maximum dimension.The operculum is large, ear-shaped in outline, and is corneus and somewhat transparent. On beaches where the shell of this species washed up commonly, the operculum will usually also be found washed up in the drift line.Evidence of northern moon snail predation is usually much easier to find than the snails themselves:The powerful foot enables this gastropod to plow under the sand in search of other mollusks. Upon finding one, it "drills" a hole into the shell with its radula, releases digestive enzymes, and sucks out the somewhat predigested contents.[5]When empty shells of clams and snails, including other moon snails, are seen to have a neat "countersunk" hole drilled in them, this is evidence of predation by a moon
