Tortiose pee!

Elephant enclosure this morning. A drive round the reserve with hein, we saw the remains of the cow we gave to the lions....well theres not much left of it! I learnt how to use the cheeta tracking system and we found the mail and femail using it, the feeling of being meters away from such a beautiful animal which can easly come for you as you stand admiring it!

The sound of the young rhino suckling milk from its mother, and a giraf poping its head about a bush in the distance. The bright red colour from the red biship flying around and its sound as it happyly fly's about in the sun. The wonders of the reserve we saw this morning! :)!

Time for patching the road with munto :), filled up the trailer and of we went in the tractor. Once complete lunch time....time went so fast today. A quick lunch and once again to get the elephant branches, with a stop at the rubbish dump. The elephants new we were back and emptying the branches out for them, over they came!

So back to the snake place after we finished with the branches! Well only one snake was taken out...thankfuly! However i was very scared but not as scared as yesterday....the conclusion in time i think i could get to the stage where i dont like snakes but im not paralysed with fear from them.

Patrick gave the green mumba a dead bird, (behind the glass!) it struck the bird like it would normally and waited for it to die with its venom. Then it did its snake thing and eventually had half the poor bird down its snakey throught!! This was a bright green snake and so i think it was less scary compared to other's however you will die from this snake extremly dangerous. Patrick then took out...took it out; a puff adder and tranferd it to another snakes house for them to mate. Well that is a scary snake, very noisy when its angry!!!!

Now to a large friendly elephnat :) much better! Food prepared i sat and watched them as the sun begun to set, we then took them into there enclosures....they both got in a fankle, salaty went into kiddybon's and they both ended up in the same one! You soon relise there physical dominance compared with a human when trying to get salaty into his enclosure! Harrison got there i the end.

I sat and watched as the sun went down.......and that was the last full day at the garden route game reserve! I am told i gained some luck today....we found one of several tortoise and it peed when we picked it up....so hopefully i am leaving with good luck!

If you compare human dicovery to that of nature...it's only one raindrop in the ocean....we have the whole ocean left to discover! (david atenburgh); so on to my next project time to discover again!
