    Snails have teeth

    Snails are the animals with the most teeth in the world. Although its mouth is about the size of a needle, it has 25,600 teeth! A little lower in the middle of the snail's small antennae is its mouth, which has a jagged tongue that scientists call a "toothed tongue."

    The surface of the tooth tongue is like a file board for rubbing ginger, and there are some little teeth neatly arranged. When the snail eats, it uses this "small file" to grind the leaves of the plant and eat it little by little. Although its teeth are small enough to be seen with the naked eye, they are so powerful that even if you put a snail in a cardboard box that is harder than its body, it can bite through the cardboard and crawl out.

    Not only do snails have teeth, they are also the animals with the most teeth in the world. On its tongue there are countless small and neat teeth, the largest of which is 135 rows of 105 each, so they can reach more than 10,000 teeth.

    Its teeth are not "three-dimensional teeth". Despite having tens of thousands of teeth, they are unable to chew food. This is because they use a toothed tongue with a ribbon-like structure that is covered with teeth to crush food for digestion.

    Over the course of a lifetime, their tiny teeth slowly wear out and dull and are replaced by new, sharper teeth. Snail excretion is excreted close to the breathing hole, which is called a stomata. It will drain its feces on its body, eventually leaving it on the ground through its gastropods and mucus.
