"The new species shoots its mate with "love darts" made of calcium carbonate and spiked with hormones—hence its nickname: ninja slug."

Thank you so very much for sharing, nature is incredible and awe inspiring. The dynamic uniqueness and beauty just takes my breath away.


Much Peace and Respect
 
My sister went hiking through equador once and found that the local indians where not very afraid of deadly spiders and snakes. There was a sort of yellow/orange blob of hairy gelly stuff though, that they deeply feared.
All the stuff we don't know about.

I want to know more about this yellow/orange hairy blob you speak of polytrip. Was it a living creature do you think?

I don't know. I can hardly imagine that it would be an animal. I think the danger must have been in that it hosts a nasty virus or bacteria. It could have been anything, from the droppings of an animal, to a fungus of some sort.
