Thank you! They are edible and some of those days I had to save their mother cause she was about to end in somebody's pot. It is legal to catch them but you still need a permit, so, since all the people are usually too lazy to ask for a permit I'm trying to be the superman for animal life :) After that I was called "this crazy Amazonian woman" :P
