These are always so fascinating. Your photo made me realize that I had no idea where the animal had been or what he had looked like before he did this! There's an amazing David Attenborough video online. If you have a spare minute you might like to watch it - I found it fascinating... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjLiWy2nT7U
Cheers Rob
