My uro is acting like Axl Rose!...hehe =)

I'm sure it's just a defensive behavior, but my little mali ungulates his body from side to side and looks like he is impersonating Axl Rose! =) it's very comical to see and then he follows his "dance" with hissing. I'm not worried or anything, he is probably just not comfortable with his new enclosure yet (I just got him a nice big 'ole vision cage). But I was just curious if anyone elses uro(s) do the same kind of behavior?

Yep - it's the good old defensive hula. My male does it more than the female, but she's the only one who's ever hissed. They don't like taking medicine much.

OT - what's a Fancy Comet?
