    Slug Fight

    But I have questions. So many questions. How are fights resolved? how do you know when it’s ended? What is the concept of dominance and submission in the slug world?? How do they classify defeat???

      Tho I had no idea this doesn’t surprise me.

      marine molluscs fight each other, they predate each other and other animals, they have poison stings too

      sometimes I find shells with a small round hole, that’s from another mollusc attacking it, drilling a hole, stinging it , then eating it

        oh yeah there’s a lot of seashells you can see any given beach with predation marks. But slugs have snot and farts as defense and offence mechanisms so…
