much like the third

Another likely landing spot.

2. Feet - The heavy padded
front feet and the webbed hind
feet are covered with little
dermal projections
that are very
adhesive to the touch of
my fingers and have a endency to cling to wood
when pressed against it
and pulled caudally.
3. Teeth - The middle
upper incisors are exposed
when the lips are closed.
