California Wildlife

Spied on our weekend dog walk at Pulgas Ridge: the venerable banana slug. Mascot to UC Santa Cruz, whose rallying cry is "Slime 'em slugs!!!" I have heard of these slugs being used to create a banana slug cream pie for some kind of banana slug festival before. I believe Kyla's group at camp one time was the banana slugs, and they had to kiss one as part of the ritual. It was pretty surprising to see this sucker on the trail considering it's almost fire season.
