Giant Pink Slugs in Australia

Aren’t you glad you don’t have these in your garden? They are nearly eight inches long – more than your hand-span unless you are an expert (and probably male) concert pianist. Fortunately they only live on the top of Mount Kaputar, in New South Wales. Michael Murphy, a ranger with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, said, ‘On a good morning, you can walk around and see hundreds of them.’ They crawl up trees to feed on mosses and moulds, and sometimes get eaten by cannibal snails. Dear, oh dear. Come back, midges – all it forgiven.
