Imagine, Heck I have one, here's a picture in her natural habitat. . . . notice the beaded little eyes as she preparing to pounce. . . .

Oh my God! The eyes! The horrible, soul-less eyes!

They're like cold shark eyes, only with extra "Ima gunna eatchu up".

I don't ever dare fall asleep now. Those eyes. *shudder*

Now envision a pack of several hundred of the vicious little raptors. I'll take the army ants. A pack of land Piranha is not my idea of fun.
