Poison dart frog making an effort distributing his 4 froglets as widely as possible (23’25)

A frog making an effort climbing up that tall tree (the frog is circled) carrying a single froglet on his back

The tri tri goby scaling the cliffs (33’25)

A tri tri goby climbing

The male had already arranged his territory for a mate when torrential rain swept him away down the cliffs. It is hard not to feel old when young fish speed past you on their way to scale the rocks. This species (the tri tri goby) is claimed to be closely related to the one treated in Life series.

The elephants have at last found a water source

The young seems to need of a lesson in how to use the trunk to drink

The adults try to show him how to do it, but it didn’t quite sink in …

Maybe it is best to just ignore the trunk and take a more direct approach !
