#126 HORNBILL BIRDS

These hornbill birds lost their nest in the forest and are looking to find a new one now. It should be in some difficult-to-reach tree hollow. Let's hope they find a good one.

#127 WILD ANIMALS

This is a symmetrical version of one seen on page 1 #104 "Forest Animals Park".

But it's not afternoon anymore, it's getting later and the sky is a darker color.

#128 EXOTIC ANIMALS
This is a symmetrical version of the one seen on page 1 #102 "Safari Promenade". Instead of many trees, the animals are gathered around one tree. But it's a large one, isn't it?

#129 LEMURS AT EXERCISE

This morning the lemur got very exited about some new kind of monkeys coming to live on a nearby tree. Just when they were going to sleep (lemurs sleep during the day and stay awake in the night), they heard a lot of noise and saw large group of small monkeys around. They appear to be very friendly! The lemurs are cautious about the newcomers but at the same time so curious!

#130 BIRDS ON WIRE

These birds are looking like sparrows. Are they getting together to migrate to warmer places during the coming winter? If they are really sparrows they won't. Sparrows can survive cold weather and are used to live in cities close to people. The cute birds we see here are watching the passing cars from above. The smallest baby sparrow at the top wire just learned to count to three, and each time he sees three cars driving close he would say "chirp" 3 times.

# 131 ROUND BABY FISH

"Look at this small round fish"! This is what these fish are telling to each other while surrounding the small baby discus fish. He is very pleased by the attention he receives, but still carefully follows the movement of the larger fish, eyes wide open. They shouldn't like him too much...
