The pulmonates are nearly all land-living gastropods and include about 15,000 species of slugs and snails. They have eyes on the tips of retractible, sensory stalks. Their mantle cavity forms a lung with a contractile opening. They are hermaphrodites and most have coiled shells but various groups have lost these.
