Rare pink slugs survived the fires

[Catherine]

We have heard so much about the animals that have been lost. The numbers are horrific. At least one in a while we are hearing about pockets of animals that survived. In this case some of the rare pink slugs have ben found alive. They must have sheltered under rocks. The ones that sheltered under logs and on trees would have been killed. Knowing that some at least have made it gives hope for the survival of the species.

Every little happy story like this gives us cause for hope that even after devastating fires life and the land can be reborn.
I am amazed at how some animals managed to survive. They climbed on the rocks, they climbed under the rocks or even climbed into a wombat den, but they survived. You have to admit those pink slugs are beautiful and even though we did not know they existed, we do feel better knowing that some survived.
