M for mollusc

M is for... mollusc!

Most (but not all) molluscs have shells - it is these shells you can see on the right. Snails, cockles, mussels, octopus, and squid are all molluscs you will probably have heard of.

These three animals have shells, but one of them is not a mollusc. Which one is it?
