They are funny little guys, you see them walking alone the road sides sometimes, I always slow down and wait for then to cross or I carry gloves in the car to pick them up and move them to saftey. When they get scared they roll into a spiny ball!
how Magnificently wierd.. :)
That's a long, but tiny snout!
