1. Often I think it's a miracle that anything so small and fragil survives in the wild.

2. Due less to miracle than to a good social structure.

The babies are never left alone...when the family goes out to look for food they leave one behind to babysit....and the babysitter is always on the alert for danger....one warning call from the babysitter and the little ones run into the den.
For small creatures like that a social structure is safety.

6. Sure, they look cute in the daytime.

But when the sun goes down, they become the stuff of nightmares.
