    • Terror!

    I have very small eyes and cannot see very well. When I am startled, I attack very quickly. Then I run towards the danger, but because my eyesight is so poor, I sometimes attack a tree or a rock. Fortunately, I can hear and smell very well. I can turn my ears in all directions!

    Mud Bath

    I am often near water. So I roll in the mud regularly. This helps me cope better with the heat and I am less bothered by bugs. It's also a nice layer against sunburn!
