I couldn't help but laugh when I read this article, and I thought I would just share it with all of you. If you have ever thought that bargains were just for the big folks, then you obviously have never stopped to think about what snails can do to save. Well, according to this article, Snails Save Energy by Re-Using Mucus Trails, carefully re-tracing the paths left by previous snails in order to save on the tremendous amount of energy that they must expend in order to produce the mucus that they use to get around. Sure, to us its not a major concern to conserve on mucus, but I guess the point is that the quality and quantity of what you save is directly proportional to your size!
