From an evolutionary perspective, this is true!

Slugs have evolved multiple times from snails, due to calcium poverty, dividing off into separate species when they couldn't get the resources for shells

That's really fucking cool.

I believe crabs have evolved independently several times too

[-] essellburns@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

For different reasons.

Slugs evolve because it wasn't economically viable to be snails anymore.

Crabs evolve because it's so cool to be a crab

Damn!

I thought slugs with caterpillars with depression?

Fun fact: slugs are called naked snails in German (Nacktschnecken)

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

This implies two snails at some point lived in the same shell

Your image is clearly clipped at the bottom. What happened to the small margin, like at the top? People, have some pride in your artwork.
