March Pond Snail
Their diet consists of filamentous algae, which is why they have large, simple teeth to scrape their food. They tend to be more herbivorous and less detritus.
Lives only in freshwater: they prefer slow running water, and standing water bodies.
Snails are in the class Gastropoda (“Belly foot”) along with slugs, limpets, moon shells, whelks and conchs.
They began life in the ocean, some 500,000,000 years ago.
Some shells are left-handed and others are right-handed. Put a shell in the palm of your hand, its apex pointing “up” and the opening facing you, which side is the opening on?
