Yes, I found it pretty interesting too!
While I was looking for info I discovered there is a market for these little guys on the internet - apparently people keep them as pets!
Yes, that "tail" is quite interesting. I didn't think it was part of the critter at first!
:)
Wow, that's an interesting "tail".
Thanks Francis!
