What kind of animal are snails?
Turns out snails are not insects at all! Snails come from a different phylum than insects; they come from the phylum Mollusca (which also includes slugs!) Believe it or not, snails are more closely related to squids than any other insect found on land! They are classified under this phylum because they are invertebrate animals with a soft, unsegmented body, sometimes covered with an exoskeleton or shell.

Shrek is a movie about loving yourself despite your physical appearance. Funnily enough, a lot of the movie focuses on making fun of Lord Farquaad for being short. Let's psychologically assess Lord Farquaad.
Many psychological reports suggest that short children are more likely to be bullied than their taller peers. (Although Lord Farquaad was a bit of a bully himself) More short individuals also report a degree of social isolation—the result, or possibly even the cause, of their victimization. Poor Lord Farquaad, did social isolation cause all that pent up rage!?
In addition, more short individuals claimed to have been bullied at some point in secondary school. Short boys were twice as likely as their taller peers to say that they had been the victims of bullying, and much more likely to say that bullying upset them. Significantly more of the short children said that bullying had started in junior school and that they were still being bullied. Possible childhood trauma for Lord Farquaad? I think so!
