Field Notes

Description:

Soo... This one knows that he is in trouble! I am trying my best to teach them not to steal my food and not to break into my house. Mission impossible! But we have had some nice moments!

Habitat:

National reserve in Swaziland. They stray passed the place I stay at around 6 every morning, making a lot of noice!

Notes:

I forgot the porch light on last night, and this morning they feasted on all the beautiful moths still sitting on the wall under that lamp. :(
That was almost as awful as when they broke into my houst and ate all of my Swedish Knäckebröd! Not only did they eat, they also left some bad smelling remainings! Grr!
