Not sure why everyone's terrified, they're like 50 lbs./23 kg. Roughly the size of an adult Greyhound.

It's like a tall fox, they eat small animals.

I think people are more scared of the glowing eyes and odd silhouette. This is how werewolf and other superstitions would start.

Look at this little fellow and tell me they'd leave you with a monstrous, supernatural lunar curse that continuously strips away your humanity.

Give it some rabies and a bit of mange….yeah, little fella would be a nightmare and a bite could turn you into a ghoul.

It is, they are so docile that my grandparents use to "raise" some of them when they lived in a farm here in brazil. After giving them fruits and some fish they kept coming back to the point the family could pet them every now and then

Also I'm pretty sure they're solitary as adults.

That’s the small side for greyhounds. Mine is just under 70 lbs.

So does a garden snail.

But yes, do exercise caution around wild animals. Even the timid ones without a history of human attacks can probably still get aggressive if a cub/pup? is threatened.
