Yeah, these guys are not exactly in the "I want one for a pet" category.  They have this nasty little tendency to have saliva that is so obnoxiously full of  bacteria that they are considered to have a poisonous bite.  They attack Willy the Water Buffalo and simply bite him and then wait around for the infection to disable him so they can eat him alive.  Yup, not too warm and fuzzy at all!
