but do you want to look away long enough to get the hose? You may come back and it will be gone, and you'll never know where it went until it's too late.
well it depends if they are as fast they look in the pic.
I recall cases of yukkuris looking darn fast and jumping long distances only for it to be only darn fast and jumping long distances in their standars, since from a non yukkuri POV it's not impressive at all.
So we aren't sure if we are being misguided by a unrelliable narrator or witness.
