Cute little buggers. If you make one too angry it might try to take your finger, or it might succeed in taking your finger off, depends on how good your reactions are. They might try to crush you, but their muscles aren't strong enough to do so, unless you're particularly frail or a child. - Dr. G. McCarthy
