This Snippy Li’l Snail says: “Hey, at least I had a cameo in Mass Attack. That’s more than you can say for Tip ‘n’ Tap or whatever those little snots are called.” 🐌😒🌀

i do wish there were big ass bugs that could be cooked into delicious meals, and yes ik like lobster and crab are basically bug shaped, but im talking land bugs. big ass snails and pillbugs you could bake in butter or fry up.

A quimper snail in Brest, France. The snail, a protected species, is potentially delaying the construction of Brest’s second tramway line. The colony of escargots de Quimper – a species found in Brittany and northern Spain – has been discovered on a bridge which the tram will cross. The city council is planning to relocate the snails at a huge cost so the project can go ahead; however, they are just one of 75 protected species hampering the builders’ efforts.
