The slowness of the snail, along with some other species, is a known fact. His fame has earned the hard way, it goes at a speed of between 2.8 and 13 millimeters per second, a thousand times smaller than that of men, to step. This gastropod mollusk moves through a series of wavelike muscular contractions that cover the underside of the foot. Land snails secrete a mucus that helps them glide. The foot of the animal, that is, its only visible part, moves in a complex that allows continuous improvement. Thus, the snail, slowly but surely can walk everywhere defying the laws of gravity.
