wow.....this sometimes happens....on the bright side....we read your post.....they can't really protect themselves...except by biting....which would be ineffective vs any larger predator....their best defense is to be vigilent and crawl off before a true confrontation...perhaps the size may be a behavioral intimation factor to some possible predators.....but i don't know of any real study that has been published regarding this issue.....how's that????
