Pond Snails

                                 Breathing

They breathe in the water by having gills and if they don’t have gills they surface for air.

                                    Food

They mainly eat plants like algae and microscopic creatures that are found on the surface of water weeds. They eat by scraping bits of with their rough tongue just like garden snails.
