It is a Banana Slug. The California state mollusk. It is generally understood that dachshunds are the best hunters of the banana slug because they can travel close to the ground under all the brush. The grand champion banana slug hunter, "Shawshank" was famous for tunneling through miles of muck to find his quarry. Banana slug is a delicacy in California sushi bars, and Shawshank earned many culinary awards..

Hahahahahaha! I did not know this! Dachshunds are uniquely skilled! Go down badger holes, drag out badger! Cruise through muck, find banana slugs! They only live to serve!
Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!

Frankly, if anyone believes that a dachshund would carry anything edible instead of gobbling it down, then *I* have a nice little deal on a bridge for you!

Nice one FBG!
I went to college at UC Santa Cruz (Go Slugs!) and the banana slug was our mascot - I saw some whoppers while I was there - you really had to watch your step sometimes walking to class.
But I have to say, the idea of any creature, even a dog, putting one in its mouth is pretty hard to swallow (ahem!)

Funny this topic should come up because when I was in DC on holidays (and my kids were doing there best to make us spend it all in the hotel room - vomiting yikes) we watched a little tv. We saw a documentary on creatures with the most slime. Apparently the Banana slug rates as number 1. When anything tries to eat it, it produces super amounts of hideous slime. They had a shot of a lizard trying to down one......not a pretty sight.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
