What's inside a snail shell? [1]

[]

Date: 2023-02-26  

Have you ever wondered, what's inside a snail shell? A snail's shell (its exoskeleton) protects the snail's soft body from the outside world. The video shows what a deceased snail looks like without its shell. Basically, it looks like a shelled snail, but all soft and mushy. Fascinating, yet slightly horrifying.
