Molluscs are invertebrates. They are such a diverse group of animals that it is difficult to generalise about the characteristics. They all have a mantle used for breathing. Their nervous system has a range of development with the most developed in the giant squid. Slugs, oysters, clams, snails are all molluscs. Most have a rasping tongue, most have a muscular foot, most have a type of "kidney" although it does not have the shape of a mammalian kidney.
