💁🏻♀️ 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.

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.

Banana slugs live solitary lives, gliding through the forest at night—or whenever the air stays nice and humid. Their menu is… expansive: living plants, decaying leaves, lichens, droppings, even the occasional bit of carrion. But mushrooms? Those are the true treats of slug life. 🍄💛

(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 shaky.

"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.

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
