Recently Emma and I spent a week traveling around the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. As malacologists we loved seeing many new snails and slug species. A particular standout is the Pacific Banana Slug (Ariolimax columbianus), the largest terrestrial slug species found in North America! I got some really fun footage of these guys eating plants and traversing the lush forest floor. However, given the ample coverage of these guys on YouTube already I didn't have a new story to contribute about these animals. But, since the footage turned out so nice I still wanted to share it anyway! I thought watching this slug munch was pretty relaxing so I decided to throw some relaxing music in the background. Hangout with this slug during your next study session!

Check out this Fringed Slitmouth Snail (Stenotrema barbigerum)! The side if these guys shell is uniquely angular with a row of small hairs spiraling around the shell. This is an interesting species we encountered during the BioBlitz at Natural Bridge Park! If you haven't seen our Natural Bridge Video you should check it out to see more of these guys and many other animals around the park!
