They were quite common around St. John's, Newfoundland when I lived there
10 years ago. But I have not seen one in Nova Scotia.

Hi all,<br>
I found what I believed to be a Giant Slug, Limax maximus, on the Northern =
Point of Brier Island today. I have never seen this species in Nova Scotia =
before today. Does anyone know its status in the Province?<br>
I posted a photo at <a href=3D"https://www.flickr.com/photos/92521211@N05/2=

It was about 15-20 cm in length before it started to curl up when I was tak=
ing the photo.<br>
Thank you,<br>
