Can snails survive in water?
Yes, snails can survive in water because they have gills that allow them to breathe underwater.
Can snails go underwater and survive?
Yes, snails can go underwater and survive because they have adapted to live in aquatic environments. They have a specialized breathing organ called a gill that allows them to extract oxygen from water.
Can snails survive in water and if so, for how long?
Yes, snails can survive in water for a limited time. Most snails are able to survive underwater for several hours to a few days, depending on the species and environmental conditions. However, prolonged exposure to water can be harmful to snails as they need air to breathe.
How do snail swim?
There are several species of water snails that have adapted to living entirely in water. They don't swim, but slither over the underwater stones and plants, rasping at the algae. Land snails and garden slugs will drown if placed underwater. Gardeners sometimes trap garden snails by putting out dishes of beer which attracts the snails - and the snails will drown in the beer.
Can snails go in water and survive?
Yes, snails can survive in water as they have gills that allow them to breathe underwater. They are able to regulate the amount of oxygen they take in and can live in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
How long can snails breathe underwater and what adaptations do they have for this ability?
Snails can breathe underwater for a few hours to a few days, depending on the species. They have gills that extract oxygen from water and a thin layer of mucus that helps them absorb oxygen. Additionally, some snails can store oxygen in their tissues to survive longer periods underwater.
Can all snails live underwater?
No, not all snails can live underwater. Some snails are adapted to live in water, while others live on land.
How do snails survive in wetlands?
All snails need water to survive. I doubt that they will survive lack of water. First, water snails have to live in water, or else they will dry up (I know this from experience, because once my water snails crawled out too much that they crawled out of the aquarium. I found them underneath the dinner table, dried up like un-cooked pieces of macaroni.). I know garden snails will drown in water, but without water they dry out as well, and will go inside their shells and won't come out. So both types of snails won't be able to survive lack of water, in my opinion.
Do all snails live in water, or are there some that can survive on land as well?
Not all snails live in water. Some snails can survive on land as well.
Where do you find underwater snails?
You find Them under Water =]
Can snails survive out of water?
Yes, snails can survive out of water for a period of time, but they need a moist environment to prevent dehydration.
How long can snails hold their breath underwater?
Squids doesn't have lungs, they have a structure that does the same thing as the gills do for fish, take up oxygen from the water. W/o lungs, the idea of holding their breath becomes a bit strange. The closest comparison - how long a squid can go w/o new water over its gills - I have no idea.
