He is kinda cute. I seen one once when sailed out to Santa Cruz Island.
notice how the population has greatly decreased since the federal government took the islands from the owners?
i still can not believe how the government killed the sheep and cattle that was on the Island. They created a line of people and covered the island shooting everything they seen letting their corpses rot in the sun.
