Giant Banana Slug. Steep Ravine Trail, Mt. Tamalpais, California, USA.

We are constantly stopping to save the lives of these curious creatures from getting squashed on the trail. This one, however, was hanging happily on his bed of moss off-piste. Big banana!

P.S. Extra points for the dirt under the fingernails. Dirty kids, happy kids.
