Slugs love to "move it, move it!"

:smile:...so goofy...
 


Interesting, was the slug actually responding to music, or were they playing the music in sync with the snail's movements?
 


That's funny! I wonder if someone was touching the back of the snail in time to the "move it"?
 


Great. Even slugs have better dance moves than me.
 


Somehow I think they were blowing from the back.

It looks as if the slug is responding to the sound vibrations moving through either the air, or through the glass/plastic that it is sitting on.

It seems to respond more to the deeper frequencies of the songs harmonics.

It could be a natural response to a perceived threat from the deeper resonance.

Or...the container could be tickling it's belly with the vibrations from the vocalizations.

A slug vibrator?

Edit for: "No where on the forum is speculation of this sort allowed." .... "Evo"

Seems to be three or four speculations in the above replies...Hmmmmm.

Favorites or a double standard?

Don't worry about the ban ...I am GONE.

Good Riddance! The last thing we need is a self-professed expert who paradoxically admits that they have no education in the fields they are an expert in.

As for the slugs; :smile:
