Two Pacific Banana Slugs mating. They rub against each other in a complex dance while hanging upside down, then insert their penises in each other. Well, sort of upside down, I mean with their pointed down. Some claim that hanging upside down helps them get their penis out, but I'm not sure how anyone worked that out. Apparently, they lay 3 to 50 eggs.
Filmed in Brentwood (Victoria), Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, by Wendy Lightbody using an IPhone.
