Awww! It was worth the wait! Such a cutie! How did you get to be friends with him/her?
When I first saw her she just sat there looking at me holding a hotdog, so I threw her half, which CLEARLY wasn't enough since she started to carefully walk towards me while sniffing.. I caught the drift, got down on my knees and put the rest of it about a meter infront of me, she scurried away pretty quickly after snatching it. Next time I met her she was a lot more trusting, eventually around the time I recorded the video she'd occasionally let me pet her for a minute or two (for the exchange of a sausage).
I doubt I was the only one who had given her food though, considering how quickly she trusted me and how close she got even the first time.
Very cool. Have you ever read Le Petit Prince/The Little Prince? It reminds me of the part where he slowly becomes a fox's friend by getting a little closer to him every day.
Oh yes, it's a classic. Funny how that works with basically any animal!
