I think I will be able to trust him not to run off with them.
or at least you can be assured of being able to catch him.
Whoa. Good myth.

they got it from eating space squirrel brains?
Which reminds me. Lori, I saw an animal in Hawaii I couldn't identify. I first spotted it scurrying away from a trashcan near a picnic table in a state park. And then one running across the road. It looked kinda ferrety. I've been calling it a Road Weasel. But I was wondering what it really is? Do ferrets run wild there?
(Also, I had a GREAT time there. I cannot wait to go back and explore more. It's a totally fascinating, not to mention beautiful, place.)

lisah, those are mongoose. mongeese? mongooses?
brought in to eat rats, but they are diurnal, rats nocturnal. Not so much with the meeting and eating.

RIKKI TIKKI TAVIs! I dreamt about them the other night.

Ha! The mongooses have invaded your dreams!
In the less trafficky places in the islands, the mongoose tend to hang out on the roads and nap. The mongoose exhibit at the Honolulu Zoo has a bit of asphalt roadway and guardrail crossing the corner of the exhibit. Too funny.

Yeah, the mongoose were not so much of a brilliant idea. Hawaii is sadly overrun with mammals that oughtn't to be there.

Not to mention the bajillions of unique native species that have been extinguished. critters and such that shouldn't be in Hawaii
Now I'm getting a sad Hawaii-That-Was vibe.
