[video] Babylonia snail feeding: the point of view of the prey

[OrkaLoca]

I wondered what happens to meat pieces when babylonia snail goes on them and make them disappear. She eat them, of course, but how?

Today I've made this video to find this and what I saw left me stunned

Here's the video, let me know what you think.

Wow! I always did wonder how that is done.

Before I thought they used a radula to scratch the meat, it's fun to see that they take up the whole pieces
