Slugs and mammoths

Slugs

Scientists have discovered a new species of slug in Wales (UK). It's not brown like normal species, it's white. And it doesn't have eyes. It's thought it eats earthworms instead of leaves like other slugs. It's been named Ghost slug.


Mammoths

A mammoth exhibition has opened in Japan. Mammoths became extinct thousands of years ago but these were found frozen and that's why they've kept so long. Mammoths lived in Africa, Asia and Europe in the Ice-Age and now elephants are their closest relatives. In the exhibition there was a young one year old female and a forty year adult.
