We have been totally amazed with all the wildlife we have seen so far, both large and small. We find it important to just take our time and sit still and just watch the surroundings, that's when you really start to notice all the little things. <br /><br />We had some good laughs with those kids. We love it when things just happen spontaneously like that.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-7990984461063496972013-12-12T04:39:20.136-05:002013-12-12T04:39:20.136-05:00We didn't realize they were that dangerous eit...We didn't realize they were that dangerous either. Apparently they have a very mean temperament and will attach without warning. Best to watch them from a distance and it helps being with a guide who know their "stuff". Alfred was amazing and knew actually where they were and when to leave.
