Snails hide inside their shells primarily for protection from predators and environmental threats. The shell provides a hard barrier against physical harm and helps retain moisture, which is crucial for their survival, especially in dry conditions. Additionally, retreating into their shells allows snails to regulate their body temperature and protect themselves from extreme weather. This behavior is a vital survival strategy for these vulnerable creatures.
