The question in my page-a-day trivia calendar today is "Where in the world can you find giant hot pink slugs?" My immediate reaction was "Why in the world would I want to find giant hot pink (or any other color) slugs?" But just in case you do want to find some, perhaps to get an idea for next year's Halloween costume, they can be found in the alpine forest of Mt. Kaputar in New South Wales, Australia. That's it. That is the only place they live. Now I am a little perplexed. When I was in Australia in 2018, we were shown dingbats, kangaroos and wallabies. We saw the beauties of the Great Barrier Reef. We even got to pat a koala (so soft). But no one, not one single guide, suggested that we should go have a look at hot pink slugs. Imagine that.
PS In case you're wondering. giant hot pink slugs are about eight inches long.
