REMARKS
Trapped alongside the camp fire in a mouse trap which though it did not kill the specimen kept it held by the nose, seemingly showing the animal is not strong or not a fighter as it should have easily escaped from such a low power trap.
A larger number of these than usual are being put in alcohol in case they are new, though that is doubtful as for as this persons knowledge goes this is the same species which has been recently a plague.
