💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐌🥬 Banana #slugs (genus Ariolimax) move only 16.5 cm per minute across their slime, yet serve as important #forest decomposers in California’s #Redwood National Park and #GoldenGate National Recreation Area.
A close-up #video shows one munching greens using its radula, a tongue-like part armed with roughly 25,000 tiny teeth. The #PacificNorthwest #mollusks are also hermaphrodites and #California’s official state slug.

anyone wish to say hello to my glistening little friend?

They have a bizarre and somewhat brutal biological quirk. Because their anatomy is so large, they occasionally get "stuck" during mating. When this happens, one slug will actually chew off the other's phallus to separate. This is called apophallation. The "victim" then lives the rest of its life as a female (they are #hermaphrodites).

A banana slug navigates difficult terrain in Pacific Grove, California, US. It has a phallus that can stretch the entire length of its body (up to 15cm), and it emits a tongue-numbing mucous to deter predators.

This #bananaslug has made quite a journey up the outside of our window. Where is it headed?

(1/2) Happy Saturday, apocalyptic party people!
Did some hiking yesterday up at #TigerMountain for my wife's birthday! We took the #TigerMountainSouthLoop specifically: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/south-tiger-mountain-trail
Gorgeous day. The fog kept everything cool and damp, but also robbed us of a view at the top. We'll have to come back!

CW: Banana Slug, munchin' on a bit of old leaf like they do
(2/2) On my return to work, I spotted this #BananaSlug! I don't normally notice them eating, and it took me 4 shots (he was shy and kept hiding) to get a decent video that wasn't all shakey.

"The banana slug (specifically Ariolimax dolichophallus, which is the most common banana slug on campus) is the mascot of the University of California, Santa Cruz. " from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_slug#In_cultureSurely, if there's a university with a slug mascot, your school can have an ant mascot.

Nothing like a blessedly damp day in Portland to make this one feel right.
But when are we getting a banana slug emoji?! 🍌

If you are in the Santa Cruz mountains in the wet season, you are likely to see banana slugs. This one was at Fall Creek near Felton a week ago. #hiking #photography #bananaslug

I ventured out after the rain stopped and found this long banana slug.

Some of you all have already spotted ‘em on my site, but I’ve got a pile of brand new smaller Wy’East Axe patches available!
They’re “woven” patches to capture all the weird little details, and just happen to fit perfectly on, say, the front of a hat. ☺️

Psst, I heard you like backpatches!
This shipment just dropped today – get those orders in, and I’ll start sending ‘em out on Monday! 💀
