"I like them, too," Cho says with a smile, tucking the lizard that has climbed onto her hand into one of the smaller containers that divides the inside of the animal carrier into a kind of specimen condominium. She's very concerned with keeping the creature calm and comfortable, with not scaring or hurting it.

The problem with having Cole help her look, is that she isn't really certain what she's looking for. Though she does appreciate his offer. "There isn't anything specific. I'm looking for prey animals, anything that doesn't have an obvious way to defend itself against a predator. They have no functional camouflage, yet they're surviving up here. I want to figure out why. So I guess I'm just... looking or anything that seems pretty helpless."

Another animal has come to investigate Cole, similar to the mice, but so much larger, and quite a bit fluffier. Cho recognizes it, after a few moments, as a relatively small chinchilla glowing an intense jewel tone indigo, and she smiles. "Like that little one," she says, nodding her head at it as it comes over to sniff Cole's foot.
