If you came across an animal and did not know what it was, how would you go about finding what it is?

I would take a photo on Go0ogle so it could tell me what animal it is

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.
