* Yes they can run, especially females. The males are fast and brutally strong, however seldom run. Our females run often, especially when a stranger is seen or they are startled! Babies run all the time, for everything it seems, LOL!

* I think this little guy saw the electric meter reader, LOL!

Even after several months of being on this forum, I'm still amazed by their beauty. I was meant to be a tort lover/owner. Too bad it took me 29 years to realize it. Lol.
