And now it’s time for our Science Fact of the Week:
Fact:.A snail can sleep for 3 years at a time and if it doesn’t warm up soon Mrs Holley’s going to give that a go!
Snails need moisture to survive; so if the weather is not cooperating they can sleep up to 3 years. They shift into hibernation over the winter and estivation during the summer to protect themselves and cover themselves in mucus to stop moisture loss.
Have a tremendous Thursday everybody! Make today ridiculously amazing!!
