The Banana Slugs

Those things are truly disgusting. The Santa Cruz Mountains are infested with the slimy bastards.

(If Comfort wanted to make a case against natural selection, and evolution by extension, he could do much better using these vile creatures. They get their name from being bright yellow in color — a trait that seemingly would be wiped out via predators, since it makes them stand out so dramatically from the deep greens and browns of the forest & brush areas where they live.)
