I was at a snail farm near Sussex, I saw how the snails were fed pawpaw. I was sort of shocked because I wondered how snails could feed on the pawpaws.

  1. You might not think so by just taking a look at them but snails actually do have teeth. In fact the average garden snail has over 14,000 of teeth – a costly scale and polish for sure.

  2. Snails are packing dozens of rows of pearly whites, with a single snail boasting anywhere between 2000 and 15,000 teeth between its jaws. Up close, the inside of a snail’s mouth looks like it’s lined with Velcro. The snail teeth hook inward, making it easy for the animal to latch onto its meal and slide it down its gullet.
