6. If you ever encounter one, please be careful.

I went ahead and looked this up to see what tragic twist this has, and it’s not too bad.

They like people, but they’re vulnerable to extinction and pretty much only live on that island so you can’t touch them and shouldn’t feed them.https://t.co/xlBk03qCBU
