A 'beer slug' in Bavaria. A "beer slug" thought to be likely extinct in Hamburg for years has finally reemerged - and in the city’s infamous red light district, the Reeperbahn, no less. Since then, the beer slug had been placed on Hamburg’s “red list” of endangered species and classified as either extinct or lost. Historically, the beer slug was a regular feature of Hamburg city centre life, often slinking around the moist basements where beer was brewed, giving the slug its name. “Furthermore there was the problem of detecting [the slug] because the beer slug likes to hide and rarely comes out before 10pm,” wrote lead researcher Dr. Marco T. Neiber in a statement.
