That's why you should always take someone with you who's slower than you when you go exploring in the wild.

You know I'm older and slower than you.  :mrgreen: Sorry I can't go. Doctor's appointments, you know...

Slight incontinence of the slower subject is also helpful for fellow travellers, that is how these guys find their prey.



Nature has everything planned out.
