Image of Scutus breviculus (Blainville 1817)

Description:

Internal in a large black slug. Rescued one specimen from squabbling gulls which were cleaning it up. Poor critter was half eaten. RIP. This after sustaining several falls onto rocks from considerable height that I witnessed. These shells are very strong. It does suggest a way the half specimen might have ended up thus. Again, the state of the outer surface of these shells belies a great age.
