ARKive - a unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's species

 

This Valentine's Day... 

... why not get inspiration from the slick moves of the ninja slug? The unusual long-tailed slug, nicknamed 'Ninja', is known to fire harpoon-like 'love darts' at its mate!  And who said romance was dead...

If love darts aren’t your style, perhaps you should take some romancing tips from these fellas – they certainly know how to shake a tail feather when it comes to attracting a mate!

Why I love ARKive...! 


We love to hear that ARKive is inspiring young people to connect with nature. So it made our day when budding naturalist, Felix (age 10), emailed us to share his passion for ARKive and the natural world.
