Description

The Leopard Slug (Limax maximus) is a slug species native to Europe. Its name translates to ”biggest slug”, as it is among the largest keeled slugs. It is commonly called the Leopard Slug for its light gray or gray-brown color with darker spots and blotches. However, the coloration and exact patterning of the body within the species is variable. Other physical features are a rounded body, pale foot-fringe, and long and slender tentacles. The Leopard Slug is a detrivore; it eats dead plants, fungi, and it is known to pursue other slugs.
