That's a little guy though, as I've had ones in my garage that were bigger than my cell phone and actually made a thud when hitting the ground. AFAIK, not dangerous though, but they are FAST.

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Nov 10, 2010 20:53 | #5 Agreed. Looks like a Wolf to me; fast as hell, and huge...but only dangerous to other things you'd rather not share a room with. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife
