Soft-bodied mollusks, such as slugs and octopuses, primarily rely on camouflage and behavioral adaptations for protection. Many have the ability to change color or texture to blend into their surroundings, helping them avoid predators. Additionally, some species can release ink or produce toxic substances as a defense mechanism. Furthermore, certain mollusks have shells, like snails and clams, that provide physical protection against threats.
