3 brains and still almost driven over by a car

There used to be plenty at the farm when I was growing up, but roads and traffic are decimating them in our area.

I was heading out to the farm this week-end and was lucky to see this one crossing the road.

We were able to quickly make a u-turn and pick it up before it was squished by the cars behind us.

They don't quite have three brains but they have two "non-coupled neural bundles". One neural bundle for controlling  each eye. These then send separate images to the brain for processing.

Here is what they look like crossing the road and you can see why the get squished if there is any amount of traffic.

We have kept a couple in the past and they tame up pretty quickly. So within a  week or two you can have them taking food out of your hands.
