They don’t scream, they have a low-grade hiss. That’s got to be the quietest animals I’ve come in contact with.
They also don’t eat ticks

wth OP?
Is anything real anymore?!~?!?1

I’m so disappointed because I had a tick on me recently and it was horrible
You may be lucky enough not to know that when ticks feed, their bodies expand and they get rounder and rounder (see Figure 4) until they can’t consume another drop and they drop off, a process called ‘feeding to repletion.’
Oh. So glad I know that phrase now. :|
So, does anything actually eat ticks? Anyone knows?
