The name snail applies to most members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have coiled shells. Snails are found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments. Snails come in a range of sizes. The largest land snail is the Giant African Snail, which can measure up to 30 cm. The biggest of all snails is Syrinx aruanus, a marine species living in Australia.
