Bet You've Never Seen A Snail Do This

A fascinating clip captures a snail defying expectations as it uses its own flexible body like a tensioned bridge, stretching slowly between two plastic cups to safely pull its shell across the gap. The snail anchors its muscular foot on one rim, extends its translucent neck across the void, then gradually shuffles its shell forward in a mesmerizing, almost mechanical motion—like watching living conveyor-belt parkour.
