Jigsaw Puzzle : Snail foot
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Snail foot
Snail foot. Foot of a garden snail (Helix aspersa) crawling over glass, seen from below. Snails have a single foot. Movement is created by successive contractions of the muscles inside the foot. The surface underneath the foot is known as the sle. It glides over a thin film of mucous, which reduces friction. The mucous also improves suction and enables the snail to climb vertical surfaces. This snail is found throughout the worlds temperate regions. It feeds on plant matter. It can withdraw into its shell to protect itself from predators. Photographed in the UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a garden snail's foot as it crawls over glass, seen from below. The single foot of this Helix aspersa species is responsible for its movement, achieved through successive contractions of internal muscles. Known as the sle, the surface underneath the foot glides effortlessly on a thin film of mucous that not only reduces friction but also enhances suction and enables the snail to climb vertical surfaces. Native to temperate regions worldwide, including the United Kingdom where this photograph was taken, these fascinating creatures primarily feed on plant matter. When faced with predators, they have an ingenious defense mechanism - retracting into their shells for protection. The image beautifully captures nature's marvels in stunning detail. From the spiral shape of its shell to its slow and deliberate movements, every aspect highlights the unique biology and characteristics of this British gastropod mollusc. This print serves as a reminder that even seemingly small organisms can possess remarkable adaptations for survival in their respective habitats.
