Leopard Slug

Limax maximus

Description:

A leopard slug, also known as the great gray slug. Found this little guy in my garage when I was doing laundry. Didn't quite know exactly what he was but we was pretty big. About seven inches from stalks to tail. Of course, I poked him first because I thought he was dead, and his eye-stalks retracted. Was pretty neat.

Habitat:

Although native to Europe, this species has been accidentally introduced to many other parts of the world.
