He looks a little timid, but not too frightening.
However...
He seems a little more aggressive as I slowly come closer.
So...

As it turns out, this little fella was only trying to cross the highway and escape to the open field to the north. and I decided to help him/her out and carry it safely across the road. Judging by its severed leg, it has had some bad luck in the past.
