April Tenth: On the effects of central blindness on explorers.
What's up, my ninjas?
So, yeah, I was off the radar for a few days, apologies.

Got stitched up and then went to find bugs to make me feel better. I checked out their tree-top walkway. I also took the doctor and the manager on a moth hunt. We found an ant and a millipede.
(Those tree ants are using a larva as a glue gun. Awesome)

And that guy was living in the puddle in the middle of a dead banana leaf.

The jungle guides all have better phones than me. Also, here's the worlds least happy kite and the worlds most happy monkey.

BEST. ONE. YET!
That was a thoroughly enjoyable read, I admit I may have laughed at how tits up it all went in the end, one thing after another, the dart gun being broken got me.
The Super Cub foot stand welded bar, brilliant.
The pic of your possible brain also got me =]
