The '''snail''' (カタツムリ, ''Katatsumuri'') is a small mollusk that can be found moving slowly across flowers or Hibiscus Bushes during rainy weather. When caught, it hides within its protective shell. If a [[player]] disturbs it, the snail retreats into its shell, falls, and disappears.

'''Helix pomatia''', also known as the edible snail or '''escargot''' (French for "snail"), is a species of snail that is sometimes farmed for eating. It is found throughout Europe, but was introduced to Britain by the Romans. Because of this, it is also commonly called the '''Roman snail'''.

The shell is creamy white to light brownish, often with indistinct brown color bands, and it has five to six whorls. The width of the shell is 30–50 mm and it's height is 30–45 mm. With these specifications, it is one of Europe's biggest species of land snail.

Donating to the museum[edit]

A snail on some roses in Animal Crossing: City Folk

As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series, the snail can be donated to the museum, by talking to Blathers who will give the player a small talk about it.

In Animal Crossing[edit]

"Let's me make one thing perfectly clear: snails are not insects. Snails are members of the mollusk family, wot! They are related to oysters, clams, and more obviously to slugs. It's a well-known fact, you can't pick your relatives. Snails have soft bodies, which are protected by hard shells, and their eyes are on the tips of their tentacles.

Snails can be found on the upper terrace of the insect exhibit, on the flowers to the right hand side.

In New Leaf[edit]

Upon being donated, the snail can be found in the room of the bug exhibit with the light in it, resting on a hibiscus bush near the light.

"Snails are mollusks that live on land and are related to shellfish like clams and oysters. One snail can play the role of both a male and a female, so it can lay eggs all by itself. Newly hatched snails already have a tiny shell, so right from birth they are easily identified.
