Rob almost stepped on this while clearing some of the excess foliage out of the yard.
When he reached down and picked it up, it offered no resistance.
I know, you shouldn't touch wild animals, especially young ones--but this one is more of a teenager. And really, what would YOU do when confronted with that much cute.
I managed to get a few pictures before Rob dubbed him "Ben"--signaling that we were dangerously close to adding another creature to the menagerie. Therefore it was time to release Ben back into his little burrow.
When Rob let him go, Ben bounced off, quite happy to be back on terra firma, but still seemingly unimpressed with the giant furless creatures who showed so much interest in him.
B'bye, Ben! May you live a long and happy life in our backyard!
