Snails and slugs have a "foot" on their stomach and that is how they move. Gastro for stomach and pod for foot.
hedgehogs do eat snails and other things including, insects, frogs/toads, snakes, bird eggs, carrion, musherooms, grass roots, berries, melons, watermelons, peanuts, worms, slugs, caterpillars, and dog and cat food !!
The offspring of a snail does not have a specific name. They are simply referred to as baby snails or snail offspring.
No, a radula is not a foot. It is a tongue-like organ found in most mollusks, such as snails and slugs, that is used for feeding by scraping food particles. The foot of a mollusk is a muscular organ used for movement.
The developmental process in gastropods where one side of the body grows faster than the other, causing the visceral mass to twist is called torsion. This torsion usually causes the anus and gills to end up above the head in adult gastropods.
The study of shells is called conchology. Conchologists examine the morphology, classification, and distribution of shells from various species of mollusks. This field of study is important for understanding biodiversity, evolution, and environmental changes over time.
Gastropods are commonly referred to as snails or slugs. Gastropoda is the class name within the Mollusca phylum, which is within the Animalia kingdom. Gastropods may include sea snails, sea slugs, freshwater snails, freshwater limpets, land snails, and land slugs.

No.Don't you realize that gastropods are snails and slugs and such?If I'm right, none of those are extinct.
No, they are gastropods; animals that grow their homes.
Clams are bivalves
Gastropods (literally stomach foot), or slugs and snails, are eaten by such creatures as thrushes (which smash them onto rocks). Frogs are one of the main predators for slugs and snails, but beetles, hedgehogs and shrews will all eat them - to name just a few.
Gastropods, more commonly called snails and slugs, defend themselves in several ways. Snails, obviously, retract into their hard shells to protect their soft bodies, while slugs use their distasteful slime to make them unpalatable and hard to pick up. There are also marine gastropods such as abalones, conches perwinkles, etc. that also have hard protective shells.
