Slime and Razor Blades


These mollusks get to be about 8 inches long and produce a thick slime if you pick them up. According to Wikipedia, this slime (which is difficult to wash off your hands) permits them even to travel across a razor blade. I'm not sure how often banana slugs need to travel across razors, but I'm sure that skill comes in handy.
Thanks for the photos and the slug factoids, Kat.
