 Did you know how long a snail can sleep?

   Answer: Up to three years.  

   -Explanation: Snails can enter a state of dormancy during unfavorable conditions, such as droughts. They seal themselves in their shells with mucus to conserve moisture, allowing them to survive extended periods without food or water.


Did you know that snails are some of the sleepiest creatures in the animal kingdom? They can sleep for extended periods, often up to 13 to 15 hours at a stretch! Their sleep patterns are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
