French Nature - Brown Slug

2 13

Hey folks,

Just a little post to share with you some photographies I have been able to shoot during a usual week in France.

This is basically a slug.

Slug is an ambiguous vernacular name designating in French certain gastropods without external shells belonging to the infra-order of stylommatophores. Slugs measure from 1 to 30 cm. Like other stylommatophora, they have four tentacles, two of which have eyes. The others are used to capture odours and are sensitive to taste. They can be phytophagous or carnivorous.

The largest slugs are also called loches. There are aquatic animals that are similar in appearance, called sea slugs and sea hares.

Not the most impressive thing you could see in France. But brown one are everywhere when it cloud.

With big zoom it's interesting to see how this common animal looks like really, really near.
