What do you think of Pink Slugs????

Have you seen them?  Hundreds of giant, fluorescent pink slugs, popping out on  Mount Kaputar, a 5,000-foot peak in the Nandewar Range in northern New South Wales. 

They are  eight-inch, how many cm is that? 25 cm? My God That’s large!


 
Scientists believe the eye-catching organisms are survivors from an era when Australia was home to rainforests. A series of volcanoes, millions of years of erosion and other geological changes "have carved a dramatic landscape at Mount Kaputar," the park service wrote on its Facebook page, and unique arid conditions spared the slugs from extinction.
They "probably would have long since vanished, if a volcano had not erupted at Mount Kaputar about 17 million years ago. The result of that eruption is a high-altitude haven for invertebrates and plant species that have been isolated for millions of years, after Australia dried out and the rainforests receded.
I cant wait to see them !  So people, our nextr holiday destination : Australia, New South Wales???
