Yes, Lindy. Tom's right about the banana slugs.

They are about 4 inches long and bright yellow, and they eat redwood trees. The UC Santa Cruz baseball team calls itself the Banana Sluggers.

There's another California mollusc with remarkable sexual habits. The sea slug, Aplysia Californica, is hermaphroditic with different sex organs at each end. The participants hook up, and like carbon atoms, others can join the conga line front and back. Occasionally, the one in front copulates with the one in back forming a benzene ring. Since these dudes (dames?) are close to a foot long, this can be an impressive sight at your local tidepool. My wife used to call it "Californicating".

Regarding your comment about the morning after, you may not be worth a shit the next day, but you don't give a shit either.
