Supersonic snails

Well, fast ones, anyway. A cute video at The Other 95% shows snails emerging after the garden sprinklers are switched off. Obviously, this wasn't filmed in Melbourne, where the drought has made sprinklers a thing of the past.

Note the Morse code of mucus left by the snails. They don't leave a uninterrupted trail as they slime around.
