Banana slugs can grow up to 9.8 inches in length! One species is the second largest terrestrial slug in the world. So, it would be safe to say, that Banana Slugs are very large compared to almost all other slugs.

Banana Slugs live on a little while. They die of shrivelling up in the sun, or by predators eating them. If a predator eats a banana slug the slug will then let out a foamy adhesive substance to glue together the mouth of their enemy
Slugs can communicate through tentacles and chemicals. Snails have two tentacles on their heads which they use to communicate with each other through touch. Slugs leave behind a chemical trail which can be processed by other slugs.
