I have a collection of squishy toys, but my favourite is the panda bun.

It is a round like a bun, with black eyes, nose,

mouth, and ears.
You just squeeze the panda bun to play with it. It is very soft and smell good too. What I most like about my panda bun
is that it is a super slow-rising squishy. It takes about four minutes before turning back to its shape after being squeezed.
The longest rising record of my squishy toys is set by my carrot-shaped one, which is about five minutes. However, my panda
bun is cuter than the carrot one.
Did you know that the squeezing a squishy is good for your health? Based on a recent study, it helps relieve stress.

Land Snails
All land snails are gastropod mollusks, meaning that they belong to the same group of octopuses, which are part of
the phylum Mollusca. At the same time, they are members of the class Gastropoda, which includes all snails and slugs. Being
a mollusk means lacking an internal skeleton and bones, but snails are protected.
Snails have a single spirally coiled shell. They have muscular foot used for creeping in most species. Land snails are
incredibly slow. Their forward speed depends on the species, but usually, it is between 0.5 and 0.7 inches per second. While
moving, snails leave behind a trail of slime, a lubricant they produce to allow them to go on any terrain without injuring its
body. Land snails aren’t able to hear at all, but they have eyes and olfactory organs. They use their sense of smell to help
them find food being their most important sensory organ.
Snails feed on very small things. Most of them scrape or brush particles from surfaces of rocks, seaweeds, animals
that don't move, and other objects. For feeding, snails use a radula, a hard plate that has teeth.
