@powolnamilosc: The Senses of African Snails How Do They Perceive the World? 🐌 Although African snails may seem simple, their senses are truly remarkable! They don’t need an eagle’s eyesight or a bat’s hearing to navigate their surroundings perfectly. So how do they do it? 🔹 Sight – Snails have eyes at the tips of their long tentacles, but their vision is very poor. They can only distinguish light from dark, which helps them avoid too much sunlight. 🔹 Touch – Their skin is incredibly sensitive! This allows them to detect obstacles and react to changes in their environment. Their tentacles are their main “exploration tools”! 🔹 Smell – The strongest sense of Achatina! Thanks to receptors on their tentacles, they can detect food from a distance and recognize familiar scents. 🔹 Hearing – Or rather, the lack of it! Snails don’t have ears or any hearing organs, but they can sense vibrations in the ground—this is how they “hear” the world. 🔹 Taste – They have thousands of microscopic teeth on their tongue (a radula) that they use to literally scrape up food. They love vegetables, fruits, and calcium for shell growth! Their world is full of smells, touch, and delicate vibrations—a completely different perspective from ours! 🌍 . . #reticulata #dc #fyp #dlaciebie #gals #snail #achatinidae #naturephotography #lissachatina #naturelovers #africansnail #archachatina #giantsnails #snaillife #snaillove #snailsoftiktok #AfricanSnails #NatureSenses #AnimalFacts #snailshell #africansnails #africanlandsnail #snails #snailphotography #animalplanet #exotic #exoticpets #snailtok
