Notes
A large male seen crawling a few meters away from where another male, (Rusty) was copulating with a female. This male seemed very agitated, Hissing at me and puffing up it's body from underneath a boulder while I was still a few meters away from it. Very untypical behavior for atrox at the dens I check on.
