What happens
In South Luangwa, Zambia, a sandy riverbank is full of holes, and hundreds of pink-red carmine bee-eaters burst out of them. Tall Thornicroft's giraffes stroll by, hippos laugh and splash in the river, and a leopard lies lazily on a branch, yawning as touch 500 lands below.
Fun facts
- Carmine bee-eaters dig their nest tunnels into sandy riverbanks.
- Hippos honk and grunt so loudly it sounds like laughing.
- Leopards often nap up in trees.
