10 Snail Facts!

Buckle up for Turbo, coming to DVD and Blu-ray November 12!
Start your November engines with this hilarious, heartfelt
comedy-adventure! Turbo, a four-star
family film, tells the courageous story of a little snail with the big dreams
of becoming a racecar. Despite the discouragement he receives from his peers,
Turbo knows what he is capable of. With amazingly creative celebrity
performances by Ryan Reynolds, Snoop Dog, Samuel L. Jackson and Maya Rudolph,
this film is nothing short of incredible! Zoom into stores on November 12 to
pick up your copy for the holiday season!
To help
you prepare for the film’s release, we’ve compiled a list of some fun snail
facts so you can understand the ins and outs of Turbo and his gang!
1. Salt is a snail’s biggest enemy! In the film,
Chet falls down the stadium and just barely makes it through the center of a
pretzel! He was so relieved he didn’t touch it, because salt can kill a snail,
so they have to be careful!
3. Some
snails can be as big as 12 inches. Can you imagine a snail the size of a ruler?
4.
Garden snails have thousands of teeth,
located on their tongue!
5. Snails
do not have ears, but they sure can smell! That is how they find their fruits
and veggies to eat.
6.
Snails can live to be up to 20 years
old!
7.
Snails are nocturnal, that means they
sleep during the day and get their work done at night and in the morning. No
wonder Turbo could stay up all night watching Racecar videos!
8.
A garden snail can have as many as 430
baby snails in a year!
9. Garden
snails hibernate in their shells during the winter, and some hibernate during
the summer too.
10. When a
snail moves, it leaves behind a trail of liquid slime. This mucus protects them
from the hard surfaces underneath them. Snails are able to hang onto walls and
move upside down thanks to this slime!

I learned that salt is a Snails greatest enemy.
Wow, I didn't know garden snails can have 430 babies. My kids learned from another educational movie that the snails' slime glows, but maybe just to them...?
i learned that salt dries out snails and kids have way too much fun with that knoiwledge lol
Very nice post Juliebug. I think the kiddos will love learning about snails.
I had no idea that snails hibernated. What - are they related to bears? ;-)

I honestly didn't know that snails have teeth. I have seen the giant sized snails on tv, which I would imagine would decimate a garden overnight!
430 babies?! That's too many! Lol
I just learned that It would take a snail 2 hours to move from one side of a football field to the other.
They are very slow and leave a slimy trail.
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!!!!!
I learned that snails do not have ears. Guess I'd never really thought about it :)

t
would take a snail 2 hours to move from one side of a football field to the
other. That’s 50 yards per hour. If you ran your fastest, it would only take
about 20 seconds!
