Snails exhibit several behaviors to enhance their survival, including seeking shelter to avoid predators and extreme weather conditions. They often retreat into their shells when threatened, utilizing a mucus secretion to seal the entrance for added protection. Additionally, snails are primarily nocturnal, foraging for food at night to minimize the risk of desiccation and predation during the hotter daytime hours. Their slow movement allows them to conserve energy while navigating their environment.
