Until looking it up, I had no idea that some snails can live up to 15 years.

 

Snail shell is made of calcium carbonate and keeps growing as long as the snail grows. They keep adding more calcium carbonate to the edge until the snail reaches adult size.

 

Obviously snails are known to move slowly. But this particular specimen seemed to be in a hurry and made focusing surprisingly difficult.
