I've notaced that my garden snails aften point their eyes down when they are eating as if they are watching the food they're munching on. Maybe its a similar thing?

Mine also curl their eyes over so they are pointing down when they eat. I suppose they can see what they are eating that way. It looks cute, like they are really enjoying themselves.

Snails' eyes are probably little more than light sensors. I bet they are watching skyward for birds, though god knows what type of bird could carry off an adult African snail is anyone's guess? Maybe Pterodactyls ate them lol.

Maybe they're pondering about the meaning of life. Humans look up when they're thinking  |
