Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge.
Rolf receives a ringing call from Rhulani's office, and they say he should drop by quickly. There is actually a little surprise there, says Tom-Hendrik. What a nice surprise… Have you ever seen such a big millipede?
So, let's take a look at this fascinating animal on today's blog. Ranger Alasdair explains to us how to distinguish a millipede from a centipede (which are dangerous) and where to find the genitals of this animal. They are just below the chin.
It's kind of ridiculous, but I hate creepy crawlers. Like centipedes. It's just the fact that they have so many legs!
As you can see, there are millipedes all over the lodge, even in the office. Don't be frightened if you discover one while visiting us!
Stay tuned for the next episode on 28 February when we have a look at some leopard tracks in the bush.
