Ron, that is a very amusing shot . . . The poor mom can barely move with all those legs in the way, and unlike most of the others with only a pair of babies, she probably could not properly sit on them to provied warmth and/or comfort, which seems to be the demands of the little ones upon observing them on that same day you informed us of the 10-legged creature.
