Engage natural curiosity without the slime factor with the lifelike Folkmanis Mini Banana Slug finger puppet. Innovative design features weighted beads for remarkable tactile texture.
Banana slugs (Ariolimax) live only along the Pacific coast of North America, in the rain-soaked coastal forests running from California up to Alaska. At lengths of up to twenty-five centimetres they are among the largest slugs on earth. They feed on fallen leaves, fungi, lichen and animal droppings, turning all of it into humus and building the forest floor as they go. Their skin loses moisture constantly, which ties them to wet weather and drives them under bark and leaf litter during dry spells. There they wrap themselves in a layer of mucus and wait motionless for the next rain.
Did you know that a banana slug represents an American university? The administration of the University of California, Santa Cruz named a sea lion as mascot in 1980, while the students stayed loyal to the slug. In 1986 they voted fifteen to one for the banana slug, and the administration gave way.
