Nature Stories: Donkey and Elephant by Erna van der Linden Velp, The Netherlands |

To be honest: this is an incredible story. The event took place a long time ago, in the summer of the year 1938.
On Scheveningen beach, a donkey and an elephant enjoyed a fine day. Holding an ice cream in the one, a lemonade in the other foreleg. How on earth did they arrive there? Listen . . .
Donkey and Elephant lived in Artis, the Amsterdam Zoo. In 1938, the Zoo celebrated its foundation, one hundred years ago.

Dinner for two in The Veld near Oudtshoorn.
‘Tell me, what is wrong with this winter-food?’
Meerkat asked friend O’Hare – in fact his best.
For many an hour he in his field-kitchen stood
And cooked a fine dinner: true amical geste.

(Please do note that the use of anthropomorphic statements (human characterisitcs attributed to animals) is deliberate for this article, and is of course meant to be non-scientific for this rendition of a Sunrise Tour story from the past).
Tickling, caressing weaves of gold creep creep slowly towards where I stand in The Meerkat Magic Valley of The Meerkat Magic Conservation Project Oudtshoorn Western Cape South Africa, it is 5 am in the morning outside one of the many sleeping burrows in the over 11 kilometre home range of Wild and Free meerkat / suricate Group: Ungulungu, and I am giving a morning Sunrise Tour to our special Meerkat Conservation Friendly guests from Britain and Germany, who are sitting expectantly and quietly motionless on some meerkat / sruciate scent marked garden chairs nearby...
Before the first "weather forecaster" meerkat / suricate head pops up to have a look around and decide if it is even worth waking up, a very strange two legged primitive reptile like creature begins to emerge from some karoo gwari bushes (Euclea undulata) to the west.

Nature Stories: Can a bath tub run? |

The setting is St. Lucia, on the eastern coastline of Natal in South Africa, the area is a lovely quiet village near a large estuary.
It was around seven at night, and I had a craving, I could not wait any longer, I just had to walk the few kilometres to town to get a snack.
It was during those fabulous extended school holidays, so lovely and warm, and the insects and bush babys were singing their songs, to the embracing inky murk of the dense vegetation. Glowing-ember fire flies sprinkled the vegetation like fairy lights on a tree.
