        Snail. This shell-animal stays everywhere in the bush. You cannot find it in the sea or in a river. If they crawl into the river or the sea, they die. The shell of this shell-animal is not strong, but thin, and if you step on it, it just quickly crushes to pieces. This shell-animal is not eaten.
