I wonder mollusks have no backbone or spine instead. They have a soft body that holds their organs. Many mosques have a radula which is a tongue like organ with teeth on it scary enough, huh? There are a few different types of mollusks snails and slugs are known as gastro Potter and they are the most diverse group with thousands of different species.
The majority of snails in this group have a spiral shell. However, those without shells are known as slugs. Another type of mollusk are those in the bilvia group. These mosques have two shells that open and close including clams oysters and mussels. The third group is known as silphalopoda mollusks in this group only live in saltwater and have no shells such as squids and octopi.
