Εσείς το ξέρετε ότι τα σαλιγκάρια είναι από τα πιο αργά ζώα στη γη, με την τοπ ταχύτητά τους να μην ξεπερνάει τα 45μ ανά ώρα; (ή 75 εκ. το λεπτό) Όταν μετακινούνται, αφήνουν πίσω τους μία κολλώδη ουσία που τους επιτρέπει να αψηφούν τη βαρύτητα και επιπλέον μειώνει την τριβή - έτσι τα βλέπουμε να 'ρέουν' πάνω στις επιφάνειες - πολύ 'ζεν' κατά τη γνώμη μου :)

This is the first step of an effort that I hope will become a reality.
I wish to write some easily digestible information, fun to read and easy to remember and pair them with my photos/videos of nature (Thanks to the quarantine for all those)
These will be put together in short e-books that will also include clipart images (designed by me), which will help the children both personalize their books and also hopefully create a love for nature and information
All the information shared will be distributed freely, with sources/links to educational sites for easy reference
The (short) e-books will be written both in English & in Greek
What are your thoughts on this?
Hive is the first to hear about this idea :)))

I suddenly remember the movie Turbo. Lol.
When I was a kid I only see snails when during the rainy season - like lots of them. Of course, I did not know any better, we put salt on it and it dies. 😢
I like watching them sometimes, it is so relaxing!
It came to me that we know so little for the creatures we encounter so often in our gardens, in our life.. maybe it would be good to know more about them. We will appreciate them even more! :)
Thanks for coming over!
I am so rude! I don't know why I wasn't following You yet???? LOL
I don't know how I can ever forgive you for that :p
Snails estivate when it gets too warm. I haven't heard of many animals that do that!
Apparently they are fascinating creatures, I sure did not expect that when I started reading about them :)
