Fiscal Flycatcher Babies Thrive
Our parting shot this week is of the fiscal flycatcher babies that were born a week ago in a nest just outside our office.
Shed Happens: A Surprise in the Fynbos!
Look Closely...
Our Grootbos Environmental Centre team spotted something in the fynbos this week. At first, it looked like a snake resting in the sun...
…but take a second look - it’s just the old skin, left behind like a jacket on a hook! The fit got a little tight.
Did you know? Most snakes shed their skin 2 to 4 times a year. Younger snakes shed more often - sometimes every two weeks - while older ones may only shed twice a year.
Nature always has a story to tell!
