Thanks for the comments... They will when cornered either stomp their feet and show the teeth and snarl and make a big deal how ferocious they are. Which is act... or just go limp and play dead and defecate.
Females with babies will be riding on her back in the spring. Eat mostly earth worms & grubs.. or the neighbour dog food. Are common too have rabies.
