22 I got back from visiting my traps around 11:00 and took some pictures of the mammals that were brought in yesterday. The Hemincete, when allowed to walk around would "making a" go along with his erect anal sort of chipping noise. They would every few feet give a quick upward jerk of the head. On the located on the dorsal line and about a third its distance from the tail to the head (27 mm from the tail measured from #134 Skinner) and running for 10 mm towards the head is a patch of quills that are shorter and flatter than any of the rest. The quills in this patch are & vibrated backwards and forwards. Apparently they relied solely entirely on their quills for protection making no effort or attempt to bite. They were quite active. My Scinletes was much less active today, to some times shows considerable activity. When I went to pick him up he would jerk his head about some what like the Hemincetale, in the garden it further leaving its ground with all four feet and carrying him back so as to snap at you.
