It would be a very colourful game of Russian Roulette. Pour salt rings around ten pink slugs and see which one makes strawberry milkshake first. >Smile

Not photoshopped. Tongues Very often, the inhabitants of secluded islands develop and evolve in odd ways to suit their environment. Could be a mimic of a plant colour they favour/favoured or could just be a chemical result of a part of their diet. Same as flamingos - they get their pink colouration from their diet. Most likely camouflage. Smile

There are a lot of strange looking animals in the world. Tongues

Yes, true about flamingoes I admit. Just coming after the poo-burgers, the cynic in me kicked in.

Mind you, some sea slugs are extremely pretty. Still wouldn't eat one though, unless a poo-burger was the only alternative.

Land slugs though, those deathly white ones are the worst sick

I was wondering about that as well, but apparently it's because they're only found on a very small, remote island. They're also nocturnal, so it would be difficult to see anything in a place like that. Apparently they also camouflage themselves on reddish-coloured leaves.

Or maybe some random is going around with pink food colouring and pouring it on slugs.
