We entered the rain forest and sailed into the mangrove ... In the mangrove, in addition to many beautiful birds, we were looking reptiles.
Girls you explain that right now, as it was a rainy day and a little fresh, was the place to find reptiles ("because they do not have a radiator in the body like us," says Sam and Mae adds: "So they have to warm in the sun and keep their forces so they do bougnent not! "). I confirm, they do not move, but then not at all, the dream of every photographer!
We caught 3 snakes and crocodiles and 2 ...
I leave you some photos where they are in the vegetation, you find ;-)
After that, a short walk through dense forest. We admired the strangler fig (the girls are really expert in botany now MaƩ explained how the fig tree grows with the tree but eventually block her access to light and the tree is rotting in the middle is left the fig tree ... then Sam has pointed out the 3 levels of vegetation and the fact that it's very dark in there ... Aaaaahhhh I am proud of my little explorers. We saw blue fruit which are eaten by cassowaries.
We were very excited, all hoping to see one, even if we know that this species is highly endangered as it remains approximately 500 individuals at liberty in the world ... And I was very interested in this hull, and those big brown brown seeds that gave AZT, the first treatment against HIV!
But the strongest, incredibly lucky, it was on the way home. On the edge of the runway, then to 3 meters away in the vegetation, 2 chicks Cassowaries with their Dad! (In Cassowaries, the male incubates and takes care small by itself). So good, the pictures are bad but I'll put them anyway you can imagine, the cassowary in FREEDOM!
We had an absolute compliment to children, they said
"Ahhhhhh, it's even better than" the Barbapapa around the world! " (That is their absolute reference).
