Slug versus Snail comparison chart; Slug Snail; Introduction: Slug is a common name that is normally applied to any gastropod mollusk that lacks a shell, has a very reduced shell, or has a small internal shell. Snail is a common name for almost all gastropod mollusks that have coiled shells in the adult stage. The average sloth speed is 2 meters per minute on the ground, 3 meters per minute when climbing in trees. With theses few factors I assume that slugs are much quicker then snails.Clearly the snail is slower than the slug cos the snail keeps stopping to hide in its shell whilst the slug just brazens it out and keeps going until its caught and eaten.i happen to know that a slug is slower than a snail because, a tortoise moves at a top speed of 1/4 mph, a snail moves 4x slower than that and a slug moves 10x slower than that.Whenever I see a snail, it seems to be moving with purpose. I can never tell what a slug is doing, I always see them just lying around. Over 150,000 people from 145 countries play.Competition Schedule: Meme Teams, every other Thurs.
If they are being hunted by a predator they can speed up to 4 meters per minute! Together, we're mapping neural circuits to decipher the mysteries of vision.EyeWire is a game to map the brain from Sebastian Seung's Computational Neuroscience Lab at Princeton. They say that slow and steady wins the race! They also happen to be the cutest animals. Why don't you have a race between the two?While camping with my family I have raced many different insects including wood ticks and beetles. (for its size)
The disadvantages are that there is no shell to provide protection from predators and extreme weather conditions. Koala vs. Sloth In a fight to the death between a koala and a sloth, which would win?
The snail is slower than a tortoise AND turtle i belive its one of the slowest animals in the world...i think the three-toed sloth is slower though, im not sure :) Some slugs are posoinous to discourage predation...I think it's a slug, Gosh they are so ugly, i'd rather look at a snail as a slug.What do you think of the answers?
Not really a nickel's worth of difference...Well they are very alike just one has a shell the other does not (the snail has the shell incase you were wondering).
Well any animal is faster than a sloth as a sloth is the slowest animal alive! Who is faster depends on species. So, I have no idea who would win if you could get them to race, but I'd say that in general everyday life snails move faster.with or with out salt ?yuck what a mess that makes i think the slug is slower though the snail has to carry his shellA slug because for the snail his shell is to heavy for him....The main advantage to having no shell is speed: snails are obviously very slow, but slugs are much faster, so they can locomote faster to reach food or shelter. Sloths gain their slovenly speed due to their low energy, low nutrition diet of mainly leaves. However I have never raced slugs against snails.
You can sign in to give your opinion on the answer. The top speed of a sloth is 0.003 miles per hour. No, because in scintest research the sloth is slower than the turtle. Sloths are so slow that their name itself means sluggishness or laziness. If you were to look at a sloth up close you would see that moss is growing on the sloth. Happy Hour Every Friday 2-4 pm US ET. i happen to know that a slug is slower than a snail because, a tortoise moves at a top speed of 1/4 mph, a snail moves 4x slower than that and a slug moves 10x slower than that. So we’ll finally get to see who is the slowest and the steadiest.WIll the lethargic sloth, or the dawdling turtle take home the points, badges, and glory?Solving the mysteries of the brain requires something more powerful than a supercomputer - YOU. Some slugs are faster then snails and some snails are fast than slugs. That's like asking who's sexier...Rosie O'Donnell, or Roseanne Barr.
Sloth Sloths are the slowest animals in the world. Yes, sloth's are much more slower than a turtle.
Also, they are so slow in movement that algae grow on them. As nouns the difference between sloth and snail is that sloth is (uncountable) laziness; slowness in the mindset; disinclination to action or labour while snail is any of very many animals (either hermaphroditic or nonhermaphroditic), of the class gastropoda , having a coiled shell.
