When I went to visit them, they told me that most of them were gone but some were still around. At night when we drove someplace my eyes were wide open, searching for these elusive creatures....but I never saw one.<br />So thank you for sharing these...the mystery has been solved...I always wondered what they looked like up close. Kind of like a giant rat, no?Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803308252202460126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-74840289783876186682010-01-25T16:27:57.373-06:002010-01-25T16:27:57.373-06:00So sad to read of his injuries, poor little guy! ...So sad to read of his injuries, poor little guy!
