Snail fun facts [1]

Did you know that snail is one of the slowest creatures on Earth, having a top speed of 45m per hour? When they move, the snails leave their mucus trail which allows them to move upside down and also reduces friction - allowing it to walk smoothly in a 'zen' kind of way.

Εσείς το ξέρετε ότι τα σαλιγκάρια είναι από τα πιο αργά ζώα στη γη, με την τοπ ταχύτητά τους να μην ξεπερνάει τα 45μ ανά ώρα; (ή 75 εκ. το λεπτό) Όταν μετακινούνται, αφήνουν πίσω τους μία κολλώδη ουσία που τους επιτρέπει να αψηφούν τη βαρύτητα και επιπλέον μειώνει την τριβή - έτσι τα βλέπουμε να 'ρέουν' πάνω στις επιφάνειες - πολύ 'ζεν' κατά τη γνώμη μου :)

This is the first step of an effort that I hope will become a reality.
I wish to write some easily digestible information, fun to read and easy to remember and pair them with my photos/videos of nature (Thanks to the quarantine for all those)
These will be put together in short e-books that will also include clipart images (designed by me), which will help the children both personalize their books and also hopefully create a love for nature and information
All the information shared will be distributed freely, with sources/links to educational sites for easy reference

The (short) e-books will be written both in English & in Greek

What are your thoughts on this?
