5. Well.. they're nocturnal so
if it's daytime, they're probably not feeling too well

And you shouldn't corner any wild thing, just on spec...

(my sweet puppy nearly got nipped by one a few years ago)

7. I had one
stroll up to and peer in a sliding glass door at my mom's house.
Same one walked casually away from me the next night as I came up the walkway..
Fearless suckers.

9. cute and won't hurt a fly
they are like nature's stoner animal. They move slow, and have voracious appetites for just about anything that smells even remotely of food.

Any animal that has a built in "play dead" response is probably not that ferocious, lol.
