Banana slug on the move

 A large banana slug slimes its way through a rain soaked pasture on a farm near Roseburg, Ore., on Monday, March 12, 2012. The Pacific banana slug can grow up to 25 centimeters (9.8 inches) long. At full speed they can move 16.6 cm (6.5 inches) per minute.
A little clover snack.
It's my photo, via zumapress.com, in the Weekly Animals gallery on NYPost.com.  It looks like the slimy fellow is getting an early start on his St. Patrick's Day eating.
