Graph break makes it look a lot closer than it is.
The paper:

The one snail “I dont get it, why’s everyone getting on this thing, its jus…oh god I’m sinking through these gaps! What devil made this contraption!!!”
Is this running distance? That’s a completely unfair metric for the slug.
Slugs to be you then, I guess. :P
In all seriousness, the graph shows different species as fraction of total uses recorded. Since the paper is mostly about mice, and behavioural differences under different circumstances, it being unfair to the slugs is probably not such a big deal here.

Go snail!
This will become a new source for energy in the future.
