They are all around here and are known to kill dogs if cornered.

Beloved and I were mowing and cleaning around the shop last week and
found a yearling in a ball. It was in a pallet under a large box I used
to paint upon. Both were burnt with the brush.

They are also fast on their feet.

Hmmmm, sure about that?
Was the broom all rotted or something?

i don't recall that it was rotted. It was a cheap broom which came
with a dustpan which had been left in the park. Those guys have really
large and nasty teeth. Do NOT rile them! They could take your finger
off in one quick chomp.
