True story: this little fellow gently nudged his nose against my hand through the mesh, moments after this picture was taken.

This endowed me with a power known as The Nuzzling, and it is the most fearsome force in all pududom.  Whenever I shake someone’s hand, I now have the power to see two and a half seconds into their future.

Usually what I see is us still shaking hands.  Pretty much always, actually.

Sometimes we’re not.  Occasionally there’s a hug.  Not much else so far.

Pudus are very small.
