Deep in my banana slug era..Banana slugs are equipped with 4 sensory stalks, 2 eye stalks, and 2 chemical receptor “taste” stalks. They eat using a set of iron imbued scrapers known as a radula. The hole in the side of the head is called a pneumostome, it is where they breathe and breed. .They glide around on a layer of water loving (hygroscopic) slime that serves not only as their way of getting around but also as a defense against predators (licking a banana slug is not a pleasant experience).

Check out this slimy slug friend munching this mushroom. This is a #BananaSlug #Ariolimax (species complex) absolutely plowing through this whitish mushroom with its iron imbued radula scrapers (basically iron teeth). I find that speeding these slugs up in time lapse makes them much more relatable and fun to watch. Hope you enjoy all the hearty monching!.This past year has been a tough one for me. On this day last year I had some major life changes that shifted my direction in life and forced me

This slug is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🐌 Banana slugs are pretty neat. They are mollusks and have two pairs of tentacles. The upper pair is the largest and are used to detect light intensity or lack of light, similar to the way human eyes detect light and dark. 🐌 The smaller pair of tentacles is used to detect and differentiate smells, similar to the way human noses detect and differentiate smells. 🐌 For protection, both pairs of tentacles can be retracted inside the slug's body in case of dange

Correction: This species is a dorid, not an aeolid. The appendage is a gill plume used for respiration—not a cerata. Unlike other mollusks, these colorful sea slugs don't have shells or gills. | National Geographic

Banana Slugs: Secret of the Slime | KQED

This is BANANAS 🍌! The second largest slug in the WORLD can grow up to 25cm (9.8 inches) long and hit a top speed of a whopping 16.5cm (6.5 inches) per minute (0.009 km/hr or 0.006 miles/ hr) .

Do banana slugs have bad breath? Have they ever been used medicinally? Why did people lick them? Meet the banana slug: one of the redwood forest’s most unforgettable residents! These slow-moving decomposers are essential to the ecosystem, recycling fallen leaves and turning them into rich soil that helps new life grow. They breathe through a hole on their side, can stretch to nearly a foot long, and have a slime that not only keeps them from drying out but also numbs the mouths of would-be preda

Banana slugs (Ariolimax sp.) are some of my favorite animals. They slip and slide along the forest floor with ease thanks to their hygroscopic (water absorbing) slime. They secret a mucus from their foot (muscle on the bottom of their body) full of proteins that suck up water and form a gel. This slime serves not only to help them get around but also to deter would be predators, since the slime immediately aborbs water from your mouth, leaving it numb and tingly. Slugs also convey information to
