May 31, 2013 - Giant Fluorescent Pink Slugs

The eight-inch creatures have been spotted only on Mount Kaputar, a 5,000-foot peak in the Nandewar Range in northern New South Wales.

"As bright pink as you can imagine, that's how pink they are," Michael Murphy, a ranger with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "On a good morning, you can walk around and see hundreds of them."

I can't tell you how much I want to see a video of that.

I want to see them pick up their own slime trail and keep following themselves.

The two of you.

I bet the teacher would have to make you sit at opposite ends of the room.

Wow, now if we could just crossbreed them with our yellow banana and brown spotted slugs up here in the Olympic National Park we could really get some action. Psychelic striped slugs.(Maybe we could get Monsanto involved and feed them to the French.)

Too funny - I considered posting this, too! Great minds . . .

I bet there's an old Aboriginal story about these things, involving an unfaithful husband, a wronged woman, and a sharp piece of oyster shell. They've been roaming the forest ever since...

Oh and I guess they're poisonous, or venomous, or both. In nature, bright colours mean either "come and get some pollen on ya" or "I will #$%& you up".

Being that brightly colored, they have to be extremely poisonous.



btw, all of your weirdos in this thread are on report--you know who you are.

Someone should hook little carts behind them that provide solar powered black lights that shine down on them. M'agine seeing a couple of them babies on a moonless night crreeep'in thru the woods.

Ants can do this occasionally. The lead ant accidentally happens on the pheremone trail of the following ants and they march in a circle until they die.

Sounds like politicians.

except for the dying part.

Yes. Unfortunate that.

I've never been to New South Wales (so far...), but I'm acquainted with our local varieties of slugs.

So cute! Smile for the camera! (I think that's a smile...??)

And they come in other ways too.

This is what they get when they do.
