You think he's bad, wait 'til you try getting a good taxonomic assignment for Ariel or Ursula.

Snails have this really cool structure called a radula that they used to scrape hard surfaces for food. It's quite entertaining to watch 😅

Das stärkste bekannte biologische Material sind die Zähne von Napfschnecken. Ihr Mundwerkzeug, die Radula, ist mit tausenden kleinen Zähnen bedeckt, die einer Zugbelastung von 3 bis 6.5 GPa standhalten. Zum Vergleich: Gusseisen schafft ca. 0.2 GPa, Stahl 2-3 GPa.

I know some don’t like them but I think they’re radula.

My daughter, 5yo, to the other kids at the playground : « so, the radula is like a tongue for the snails, but covered in teeth ! »

It´s all about fungi!

Toothed Crust Fungus (Basidioradulum radula)
#MacroMonday #Macro #MacroPhotograsphy #Fungi #FungiFriday
A small patch of Toothed Crust Fungus (Basidioradulum radula) growing on a dead branch mainly white in clolour they look more like a range of snowy mountain tops viewed from a plane than what I think of as fungus. A full explanation of this type of fungi can be found here: https://crustfungi.com/html/sidebar/introduction.html

The "lips", mouth and radula (think toothed tongue) of a common Slipper Snail (Crepidula fornicata) a common marine snail here (invasive in Europe). Approximately 67x magnification. Love seeing the radula clearly as it grasps a string of mucous and algae ( green tinted grey "rope")

67x magnification of a marine snail (Crepidula fornicata- Common Slipper Snail) feeding. Body is further to top, the radula is center in the image looks like a zipper, but is a "toothed tongue" structure gastropods use to scrape algae and detritus off rocks, shells etc. To either side of the radula are the lips. Immediately below the radula is a greenish grey tinted "rope" of algae that the snail filtered out of the water over it's gills and passed to the mouth. For more on this process and the anatomy see the paper 'Observations of Feeding in the Common Atlantic Slippersnail Crepidula fornicata L., with Special Reference to the “Mucus Net”' in which our team examined these snails in multiple ways and attemped to correct earlier research that did not have benefit of the tools we have today. https://bit.ly/4i5cOR1

Réponse de l'image-mystère :

Ce que vous voyez ici est une langue d'escargot (appelée "radula") observée au microscope électronique.

Impressionnant, non ?

Bonjour à toutes et tous.

Nouvelle image-mystère aujourd'hui.
Mais que voyons-nous ici ?

N'hésitez pas à mettre vos propositions en commentaire.

Quant à moi, je posterai la (surprenante) réponse en fin de journée. C'est à vous !
La photo montre une sorte de structure écailleuse, mais avec un écart entre les écailles.

To attract sailors, the same reasons mermaids have starfish and shells covering their ventral suckers and radula

Some wounds never heal. For example, being scraped into a paste by the radula of a huge snail.

Their mouths are WILD: they have strong beaks, a radula which is basically a tooth-covered tongue, & salivary papilla to drill holes into anything their arms can't rip apart. They have to ensure their food is thoroughly dead & mushed, bc their esophagus passes THROUGH their donut-shaped brain!

I hope it’s radula because I’m a sucker for big cephalopods. 🦑

Molluscs have radula, which is how you know that they're rad.
