The arrival of the rainy season has brought many new friends along as well. Frogs and toads hop in the kitchen, bugs swarm over every source of light, causing us to turn off the light, to avoid accidental consumption of them.
The noises of nature here are beautiful. Crickets chirp all night long with frogs who join the choir with their low “ribbit.” The lounge lizard we call Tookey makes his voice heard as well. The cows moo loudly in the distance. Gekkos rattle quietly with their tails. And mosquitos make their high pitched buzz.
Another part that comes with a zoo is witnessing life and death. Hungry frogs munching on bugs, the cat chasing lizards for lunch, the Tookey creeping up on big bugs for dinner. The naughty dog chasing and killing the chickens. It is a daily adventure here!
