A common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) in Rioverde, Mexico

Did someone say filet of fish? Well, we didn't, because this critter is actually the red triangle slug (Triboniophorus graeffei)! This Australian inhabitant lives in forests and woodlands, where it might be spotted on the bark of a eucalyptus tree feeding on microscopic algae. Its namesake red triangle is where you’ll find its breathing pore. Hungry predators might want to reconsider taking a bite out of this slug because it has a unique and effective defense mechanism. When in danger, it can “superglue” foes to a surface by emitting a sticky mucus! This sticky substance can stop threats in their tracks, so please… just order takeout.
