No, whelks do not make shells; rather, they create their shells as they grow. The shell is actually a part of the whelk's body, formed by secretions from a gland in the mantle. As the whelk ages, it adds new layers to its shell, allowing it to grow larger. The shell serves as protection and plays a role in the whelk's overall biology.
