It looks like it is wearing a hula skirt of some kind. :D <br /><br />I have only ever seen one from afar. We have a different species back in Texas, as well as here in Goiás. <br /><br />I just recently saw what a dog looks like after a run-in with these creatures. :( <br /><br />Miss you!! We've both been MIA, lately.
