Ariolimax columbianus! Mating!

"The Pacific banana slug is the second-largest species of land slug in the world, growing up to 25 cm (9.8 inches) long (the largest slug is Limax cinereoniger of Europe, which can reach 30 cm (12 inches) in length). It is native to the forest floors along the Northern Pacific Coast of North America" (thank you Wikipedia)

Did you know the nobel Banana Slug is the official mascot for University of California Santa Cruz? I hope that you have found this as interesting and informative as i have. If i have done anything right today, it was my superficial research into the life of the banana slug.
