Another landslip was to blame, the heavy …

Did you know that a single queen starts a leaf-cutter ant colony, and can live for up to 30 years? Crazy! I held a red-eyed leaf frog, which is an absolutely stunning animal (check out the photos!)! He also took me to his friends house near a rainforest reserve, where I played ...
