In Russia, photographer Anatolih Evgenii organized a fun competition where two snails with quirky twisted and spotted shells raced to reach the cherry on top of a mushroom. The race began, and one of the snails with the spotted shell immediately took the lead and won the race.

The determined twisted shell snails did not quit and made an effort to compete with their opponent. They managed to keep up and were almost at the same level under the mushroom’s cap. Unfortunately, the spotted shell snail made a mistake by attacking the opponent instead of making a beeline for the finish line. This resulted in a setback for the spotted shell snail.

Despite the trickster’s efforts, the twisted shell slug managed to cross the finish line first and claim the prize of a juicy cherry. Unfortunately, the spotted slug slipped down from the mushroom it was on. The spotted slug may need to reevaluate its strategy for the next race.

As a snail enthusiast, I enjoy coming up with imaginative scenarios for my little mollusk friends. Recently, I came up with the hilarious idea of hosting a race for them, knowing full well that snails are known for their sluggish pace. To my surprise, they seemed to pick up the pace when they caught sight of a juicy peach at the finish line. Although only one snail emerged victorious, I am certain that they will share the prize amongst themselves. Along with the snail race, I also captured some adorable shots of these little creatures climbing mushroom trees.
