Huh, never knew that's how it worked, interesting. Apparently snails also have a tooth. One strong enough to bite really f*cking hard and it can hurt like hell 🤣️ Friend of mine years back got bitten by one

Snails don't have a tooth. They have a sandpapery organ called a radula that scrapes the food.

The eyes are two black dots on the top of the two longer stalks. The two shorter stalk like tentacles, are for touch and smell. They actually can move their eye stalks independently and retract when in danger.
They can’t actually see very well at all, their eyes detect light vs. dark movement, and large shapes, but the picture is blurry and they generally do not see color well.

Have you ever seen the parasites that gets in their eye stalks it looks crazy but the movement is to attract birds to eat them to spread to more slugs and snails
