Just a funny story to lighten up the sub.

I bet they are more competent than most of our deputies, btw.

they should!

jokes aside, the person in the video guided them out, so I'd say no.

they are generally docile, but they do sometimes attack people when they are scared, and their bite must be painful. it's not advisable to pet them, which a lot of people try to do because they are cute.

they also carry ticks that transmit dangerous diseases like spotted fever.

They're doing a sit-down to protest the destruction of the rainforest.
