Wildlife in toilets - part 2 (South Luangwa)

We first met in the bed-netting but parted when I asked him to hop it and helped him through the door.

Not for long, however. Back he came for a sit-down conversation, eye to eye in the bathroom.

 Out he went again, and next time I went to the bathroom he was not to be seen on the toilet-roll. Until, that is, I tugged the roll and out shot a flying frog that landed safely on the floor and then leaped up my shin.
Once more out of the front door.  Next time, not on the toilet roll but on the toilet rim.


No, he didn't go for a swim but he did get thrown out yet again.

Some individuals are just too persistent. Next time he is just hanging around on the door. Those great foot pads show how it managed to climb tiled walls.

Attenborough doesn't often say this, but the best place from which to watch elephants at night is the ledge in an open-top bathroom.

Move over Hoze-Lock




Why buy expensive fittings when an old water bottle will do very well?
