Question
itachi-san
I am a living animal.
You may not see me with your eyes,
But though I'm very, very small,
I'm a tough nut for my size.
I do not fear the arid desert,
Nor the frigid cold and snow.
I can rest comfortably in the mountains high
Or in the ocean far below.
You may find me in the coldest place
Or by a pristine, little lake.
I may have gone thirsty for 100 years,
So give me a drink, for goodness sake!
If you find me, please say "hello,"
And a new friend you can make,
For you'll find I'm not as nasty
As my more ferocious namesake.
It's been a pleasure meeting you
And telling you about me.
Now that you have all the clues,
Please tell me, what can I be?
