Molluscs on my wall

It's perhaps not the kind of art you'll find in most people's homes, but I do like this vintage school wall chart that my mum kindly bought for me. I'd been looking for some art to put on that particular wall for a while, and this fits the bill just fine!



Since this is an educational wall chart, and because learning something new every day is a good thing, I find it appropriate to include a little bit about its subject:

"Molluscs are a group of invertebrates that includes squid, octopuses, cuttlefish, nudibranchs, snails, slugs, limpets, sea hares, mussels, clams, oysters, scallops, as well as many less well-known animals. Molluscs have soft bodies that consist of three basic parts: a foot, a visceral mass and a mantle. Many species also have a protective shell made of chitin, proteins and calcium carbonate."

But what exactly is a nudibranch?! Must. Google.
