Horrifying slug is the size of a house pet

Coyote Peterson, host of Discovery Network’s “Brave Wilderness” series on YouTube, recently found the largest slug in the world. It’s 2-feet-long and could grow to 3 feet, approximately the size of Chihuahua.

It’s also named the Black Sea hare, the biggest of any species of slug, because its appendages resemble rabbit ears. Peterson found the slimy creature while wading through tidal pools off the California coastline.

Weighing up to 30 pounds, these slugs get their hefty size from a steady diet of seaweed.
