anyone got any advice for someone who's only ever seen one and doesn't know anything about them? I've been offered one but i'm not sure if i want it or not. id like to hear something about them before i look into it more and start researching them. i'd like to know what i'd be getting myself into.

the one i've been offered is a captive breed baby female. its temperament is very good and it's suprisingly handlable but that's cause its been raised with handling. do you have to have more than one together? how big do they get? what would i need to keep one in?
