The second-biggest of the keelback slugs describes the Limax maximus slug. The name of the Limacidae family member described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus (May 23, 1707-Jan. 10, 1778) means "biggest slug" even though the honor actually reverts to to 11.81-inch- (30-centimeter-) long Limax cinereoniger. Limax maximus, known commonly as great gray slug and leopard slug because of body coloration and pattern and native to Europe and Mediterranean Africa, measures 3.94 to 7.87 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) in length.
