What a skinny little fellow! Reminds me of the awkward teenage years ;). Great spotting!

It was amazing how it would walk within a few feet of me. It was going for cat food I put out for a stray cat that was trying to adopt me. It wasn't scared of me at all but I had a huge stick in hand just in case it decided to change its demeanor. One of the coolest moments ever.
