Slugs love to "move it, move it!"

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?

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.

Speculations? :rolleyes: People are making jokes about a slug dancing.

Buh-bye!
