Molluscs

Molluscs are soft-bodied animals, many protected by a shell. Different groups live on land, in freshwater or in the sea. Some cephalopods, including octopuses and cuttlefish, show complex behaviour.

Examples of molluscs

Snails, octopuses and cuttlefish illustrate the diversity of molluscs, from shelled animals to soft-bodied hunters.
