So? They have roughly the same temperature as the area around them. That
makes them hard to spot on thermographic, but not impossible (just get it
between yourself and a warmer or colder object, for instance the sky).

Judging from the picture in PANA, I woul say 3 or 4 meters, maybe. If it
walks with its legs sticking straight down (whether or not it does this is
difficult to tell from the picture) that height might even be doubled.
