the slug... can't defend It self from the beetle

But its huge and killing one of those without sufficient size difference is usually rather hard due to elasticity and mass

natural weponarry in this case means sharp tooths, right? given enough time the bettle will win

Keep in mind that it can't digest meat meaning that it can exhaust itself if it takes too much time. Plus most of the things it'll be biting is mucus

he just goes to eat whem needed, what the slug will do whem It is exausted and hungry?

I mean, it's not using its energy to fight and slugs can even survive for months without food

well, the bettle isn't fight eatheir, It's more just sharping It mouth, and how much time can the bettle?

 

[Peppersalt43]

how much time can the bettle?

weeks

 

[JustANormalLemon]

weeks

well, the battle being in the botton of a tree, the bettle just eat some grass or something like that and comes back to fight

 

[JustANormalLemon]

and I doubt It would last weeks to penetrate the slug enough to kill It

At some point in the video, the ants were getting overwhelmed by the slug's mucus. Keep in mind that this isn't the type of beetle that eats sap so it getting overwhelmed by mucus is a possibility {Though the size difference here isn't that bad so it's mostly minor}

Also on average, the beetle is 16 centimeters while the slug can reach around 30 centimetres

So the bettle is much bigger them the snail here, and the ants were to small, there entire body was being trapped on It

Sorry, I meant centimeters. Why did I do this, a human is mostly 1,5 meters. Sorry, typo

still don't see being a diference big enough to the bettle strugle with the mucus

Alright, I yield.

I'll count your vote to the beetle

How does the slug win

How does the slug win

Being big, sticky, and indigestible for the beetle

So it's either incon or beetle wins since the slug can't actively kill the beetle?

If the beetle starves first and the slug is still alive then it wins

I'm assuming the beetle is not allowed to just go off and eat something else and then try again like this guy suggested:

I forgot to mention something. The slug being sticky does make it harder for the beetle to eat anything and would ultimately cut off a large portion of its ability to regularly consume

 

[SemiRaedi]

How durable is the slug on its own though? If it's durable to survive several bites from the beetle then I think I'll vote for it since I can see the beetle's mandibles becoming to sticky to be effective happening sooner then it eating the slug (meaning it would die of starvation).

Obviously it'll die from being stepped on or swarmed by ants but in a 1v1, should be decently durable since the beetle's attacks aren't proportional to its body size (However it is almost as big as the slug)

Also on average, the beetle is 16 centimeters while the slug can reach around 30 centimetres

 

[SemiRaedi]

I'll vote slug then since it will be nearly twice the size of the beetle and it will be too difficult for it to bite through and eventually the beetle's mandibles will become ineffective causing the beetle to starve.

 

[JustANormalLemon]

Fair, voting slug

 

[SemiRaedi]

"The slime of a banana slug is capable of making the mouth of a potential predator go numb"

Yeah, I think this further adds to my point on the slug winning lol

Counted and thank you
