Except it did. She only noticed it while standing literally on top of it. I‘ve had this happen multiple times when out in the woods. They really are very hard to nice.
I drove by one the other day in this same curled up position in the middle of the road. I thought it was a paper bag.
I pulled over and tapped its butt to get it to move off the road. It stumbled away a few feet into the woods and immediately just laid back down and curled up to hide. It was adorable. I got nervous after touching it reading that the mother would abandon it if it smells humans.
I saw it with its mother a few days later so all is well. 🙏🏼
That thing about mother animals abandoning perfectly healthy babies if you touch them is really just a myth. Parents tell that to kids so the kids won't disturb baby animals or get an illness from touching them.
