Is/are there any difference/s between a slug and a snail?!

Gastropod species which lack a conspicuous shell are commonly called slugs rather than snails, although, other than having a reduced shell or no shell at all, there are really no appreciable differences between a slug and a snail!. A shell-less animal is, however, much more maneuverable, and thus even quite large land slugs can take advantage of habitats or retreats with very little space – places that would be totally inaccessible to a similar-sized snail, such as under loose bark on trees or under stone slabs or wooden boards lying on the ground!.

Taxonomic families of land slugs and sea slugs occur within numerous larger taxonomic groups of shelled species!. In other words, the reduction or loss of the shell has evolved many times independently within several very different lineages of gastropods, thus the various families of slugs are very often not closely related to one another!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not really!. Slugs are basically prototypes and snails are actually first and second revision MBT production models!. It was a mistake to omit the shell feature on the prototype design!. Henschel submitted a design with twin electric transmissions and Porsche submitted a design with the 17cm SK l/40 gun, in the end, the Henschel design was selected!. The slug prototypes also went into production for the invasion of Poland!. With their greater power to weight ratio and 5 forward and 3 reverse gears, they were deployed in the reconnaissance role!. Several slugs were part of the 7th Army and 5th Panzer Division and were responsible for the fierce defense of the Falaise Pocket as part of the larger Battle of Normandy, during World War II!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
