      That diagram isn’t making sense. The tube goes directly from the stomach to the anus? Everything else is just ignored? Either I’m missing something or this is AI slop.

        No, it’s not AI, you can search the snail anatomy in the web, and you’ll see, that it is the correct anatomy for this genre of snails

      Head positive, tail negative (seriously)

      It’s pulsed though, not sure how well it would charge a battery

        So, according to the diagram, the butthole of the eel is the positive electrode?

        Or did I miss something here?

    All of taxonomy hinges on where the butt is.

    So, next question. If a snake had arms, would they be up near his head or closer to its butt? Like is it mostly torso or neck?

      They’re like 1/3 neck 2/3 torso! You can actually kinda see where the neck turns into the torso because of the difference in thickness, I marked it with a green arrow here:

      It’s a lot easier to see in person though since the chest moves when they breathe so you can be sure that’s where the lungs start.

    Everything after the butt is a tail?
    Are my legs tails?

      the tail is part of the spine, our tail ends BEFORE the butt

        Maybe your leg-tails are, but my leg-tails appear to be separate from my spine
