Hello folks if the reason snails never face traffic jams is because they are the traffic,

How would you respond if someone told you a parent had abandoned their child?

When you learn that a parent has abandoned their child, you’ll probably experience two powerful reactions. First, you’ll feel intense anger toward the parent and immediately consider legal steps—calling authorities or seeking other enforcement options. 

At the same time, your deepest concern will be for the child’s well-being. You’ll want to secure emotional support right away—arranging counseling, finding a stable caregiver—and you’ll look into community resources like school programs or local nonprofits that can provide mentoring, meals, and a safe space.

Before dialing 911, consider playing devil’s advocate: these overworked moms and dads are trapped in a no-win economy. Even one kid can turn your wallet inside out—two? That’s basically a financial extinction event. Parenting is a full-time hostage situation: goodbye personal time, farewell guilty-pleasure doom-scrolls.

Look, none of this justifies ditching your own offspring, but it does shed light on how someone might snap and make that heartbreaking exit.

This is what a single clutch looks like. A single clutch typically contains between 10 - 40 eggs.

Although the embryos appear inactive at first glance, time-lapse recordings reveal that the developing snails actually move around inside their egg capsules. The most widely accepted explanation is that this movement helps increase the amount of oxygen reaching the embryo.

In my last post, I suggested racing two microsnails on my index finger. Scratch that—it didn’t go as planned. The snails do not seem to follow my instructions!
