Top Speed of Snails Aug 24th 2013, 14:54 They examined the habits of 450 garden snails recording their movements using LED lights, UV paints and time-lapse photography. This is the first time snails have been studied in this way, creating some unexpectedly spectacular images. The findings revealed how snails will travel distances of up to 25 metres in a 24-hour period, and seek out areas of shelter, such as long grass, trees or objects, including dogs' toys, left in the garden overnight. It is thought that a snail could use up to 30 percent of its energy in slime production alone, the study found. The findings are published by the Royal Horticultural Society. Source-ANI
