When a predator tries to catch it, the slug will just slip away because of the slime makes them slippery. They also have a dark color for camouflage. The camouflage mainly works in the dark because they would blend in with the dark because their skin is dark.

Most snails, like many mollusks, have a ribbon-like structure called a radula in their mouths. Radulae have numerous rows of teeth, the exact number of which may vary. Some carnivorous snails eat the soft flesh of other mollusks after using their radulae to bore through the shells of their prey.
i agree with the other answer but as he said numerious rows of teeth the truth they have thousands of teeth you don't use the word "teeth" when discussing snails "teeth" you use the word "radula" but back to your qustion snails have thousands of teeth (radula) in my estime i would say the have around 10,000 to 30,000 teeth thanks, snailboy123
