The following passage is from page 20 of the book Interesting Creatures of the Sea by Cameron James:

Plough snails are animals that live on the seashore. They use their fleshy bodies to bury themselves in the sand during low tides. The snails do this in order to avoid getting washed out to sea. When the high tide rolls in, the snails come out of the sand. They turn their bodies into the waves and let the water push them further up onto the beach.
Plough snails eat dead fish and other dead animals that wash up on the beach. These creatures have a keen sense of smell. They can detect even the tiniest amount of dead animal particles in the water. When they smell a dead animal on the beach, they hurry toward it. The snails have a straw-like tube that they stick into dead animals. They use the tube structures to suck their food. Plough snails can eat enough at one time to keep them alive for two weeks.
