Wow, so many wildlife stories.

My only problem, now that it is spring down here, is worrying about the coming rain spiders[^]. Fortunately they are easy to kill without munitions, but they are also easy to stand on barefoot in the night and get a heart attack. Our biggest so far has only been about 120mm.

;P Never use an elephant gun to swat a fly, huh?
An explorer wandering throught the Bush comes to a clearing and sees and extraordinary sight. There in the middle is a dead elephant. Standing by it is a pygmy. The explorer asks how the elephant died. "I killed it with my club!" says the pygmy. The explorer looks agog and splutters "It must have been a big club!" "It is, there are over forty members".

Lizard-eating spiders. You'd think it's the other way around. :~

There is a Chicken Spider see here[^]. So called because it eats chickens! (It is a 10 to 11 inch Tarantula!) Out in Iraq they have Camel Spiders (see here[^]) Thankfully Camel spiders don't eat camels and are not true spiders.

I can see the need for owning guns when living in such regions of the world...

They aren't even true at all. :)
I have been trying for weeks to get this little site indexed. If you wonder what it is, or would like some informal accommodation for the 2010 World Cup, please click on this link for Rhino Cottages.
