My photo tank is getting lower, so please send in your good wildlife photos. Today’s contribution is a passel of “semi-slugs” from Tony Eales, who hails from Queensland. His notes are brief. (I had no idea that there were “semi-slugs”! Since for some of these the shell can hardly be of any use for survival, perhaps some of these are in the process of losing their shells and evolving into “real slugs”.
I haven’t sorted out the species of the semi-slugs that I’ve photographed yet, but here are a few I’ve photographed around my general neck of the woods. The first image is how I often find them during the day, folded into a small moist nub; but a little coaxing gets them to unfold and move around.
Great pictures. That yellow tongue is impressive.
It’s actually eating a fungus.
Nice semi-slugs. So many interesting animals.
What gorgeous creatures! Beautifully photographed as well!
Fascinating! Great photo’s!
How interesting! No idea that these existed. According to Wikipedia, these are dispersed into several gastropod families.
I never heard of these. Thanks for submitting.
Fascinating…I’ve never heard of a semi-slug. Thanks for the new knowledge.
Wait…. whut? Nature is weird! 😀
Always something new to be seen! Thanks.
