    💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

    (Posting in my personal capacity.) Journalist Steve Baragona was so invested in shooting
    river-cleaning #mussels that he ended up falling into the mud. Don’t worry! He is fine and our story about these important #mollusks is coming out later this week. Stayed tuned! We cover #environment and #science . Follow us on social media platforms.
