Ahem. Beg pardon, but I used to live in Ben Lomond, and they have the large
banana slugs there as well.

Question: Has anyone seen the infamous Zayante Hump-backed Slug, known to
	  infest the great metropolii of Zayante and Lompico CA ("the land
	  of the hostile flakes")? This despicable creature was the center-
	  piece of the movement to stop the construction of a dam across
	  the mighty Zayante Creek (shout: "Save the Zayante Hump-Backed
	  Slug!!"). For all the brief time I lived in Lompico, I think I
	  never saw one..
