Leopard slug

Limax maximus

Description:

Leopard slug (Limax maximus) is one of the biggest European slugs, wich measures 10-20 cm in length and is generally a light greyish or grey-brown with darker spots and blotches, although the coloration and exact patterning of the body of this slug species is quite variable. It was spotted near Volos city ring road, during an early walking of our dog, and at first I thought it was dead, but after I checked it and photographed it, I found out it was very much alive, and I removed it from the road and placed it in safe place in an nearby olive grove. Spotted in Nea Demetrias suburb, Volos city, Greece.
