Slow but sure, the Folkmanis Mini Snail finger puppet is a steady companion for nature exploration. Innovative design features weighted beads for astonishing lifelike feel.
A snail's shell grows along with the animal: fresh shell material is added at the lip of the opening, so the spiral lengthens bit by bit. Two pairs of tentacles sit at the front, the upper pair carrying the eyes at their tips, the lower pair testing the ground and the air for scent. Movement comes from muscular waves running along the sole, which glides on a thin film of mucus. Leaves, algae and rotting plant matter are cut with a horny upper jaw and then rasped down by the tongue. Before winter the snail withdraws into its shell and seals the opening with a hard chalky lid.
Did you know that a snail has more teeth than any other animal? Its rasping tongue carries anywhere from a few thousand to well over twenty thousand tiny teeth in tightly packed rows. They wear away at the front and are pushed forward from behind throughout the animal's life.
