Notes:
was under a metal sheet. stayed still for a few seconds before trying to dash off. When caught, it bit me, musked, and deficated. It also bit my friend's sweater and held on for dear life. It even started to chew into the sweater like it would if it was consuming a meal. Eventually, it just stopped moving and allowed us to take some close up photos, possibly due to lactic acid build up. duplicate of https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/73705154
