slugs

I've been reading about slugs recently. It turns out, they are absolutely incredible. This one is Glaucus Atlanticus. Its a type of sea slug that floats on the surface of the ocean. Because of the location of the air sac that provides the floatation, it swims belly up. The silver stripe is its belly. Woo! And it has "six appendages which branch out into rayed cerata" [Wikipedia]. Look at this thing.


Similarly, I found this video of a nudibranch eating a tube anemone. It takes him [for sake of confusion. nudibranchs are hermaphroditic] a while to get going, but once he gets close... POW! He just dives right down the anemone's tube and gorges on delicious anthozoan flesh (well... tentacles).


I got some new drawring stuff yesterday. I'll upload some new pictures once I get motivated and finish them.

Oh no! Garden slug attack!!!
