I hiked an obscure Calif. park. Tiny banana slugs were everywhere.

The hiking trails in Ferndale's Russ Park have lots of fun surprises.

The scenic trails bring visitors through a closed canopy forest featuring mature Sitka spruce and glorious stands of grand fir. This is the southernmost stretch of temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest, and it features more than 60 bird species and staggering views over the Eel River Valley.

So this tiny slug on the trail was quite a surprise. I snapped a photo of it next to my hand, noting that it was about as long as the top part of my thumb. It was hanging out near some leaf litter, its glistening yellow skin standing out against the greenery.“No,” he yelled back. “But there’s actually another one here.”That slug was a bit longer than the last, but much skinnier, maybe the size of a green bean. As the hike went on, we saw another diminutive slug. Then another. Then another.
