The mountains of Australia became the surprising home to a number of florescent pink slugs recently!

The eight-inch creatures are brighter than bright and are thought to be from a time when Australia was home to rainforests. They have only been found on Mount Kaputar, which is a 5,000-foot peak in the Nandewar Range.

Scientists are saying that volcanic eruptions, geological changes, years of erosion and unique arid conditions on the mountain are what kept the slugs from going extinct. Thanks to a volcano erupting on Mount Kaputar about 17 million years ago, the area is a sanctuary for invertebrates and plant species that have been living and growing in quiet solitude for millions of years!
