I finally got close enough to this old beast to get a clear shot. The dappled lighting didn't help the resulting photo, but it's good enough to share the experience with you. This individual is about as big as a dinner plate. He's quite skittish and usually vanishes when I point the lens in his direction. I took some video a few months back but it didn't turn out very well.

These two strangers met each other about five seconds before this photo was taken. Their friendship erupted immediately. And off they went! Legend has it that they are still running today....
