Did they convince it to bite it's own tail for the ouroborus thing, or did it do that on it's own?

It's a defense mechanism, they all do that, it's kind of cute

That way you can't get to their stomach without a hell of a fight

It is cute lol. I'm just glad it's a natural behavior. Name definitely makes sense now
