From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Snail is a common name which is applied most often to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks. The name is however also applied to most members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have coiled shells large enough to retract into. When the word "snail" is used in its most general sense, it also includes sea snails and freshwater snails. Some other mollusks that are not even gastropods, such as the monoplacophora, may also informally be referred to as "snails".

Snail-like animals that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are often called slugs, and land species that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are called semislugs.
