Slugs are invertebrates that belong to the class of gastropods. They have soft bodies covered with mucus.

They are herbivores that feed on plants. They use their radula, which is a mouth with teeth on it, to cut their food into small pieces. Slugs can eat leaves, stems, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
