The Dung Walk

This morning we went on a mokoro ride thru the channels to one of the islands in the delta. A mokoro is like a large canoe, originally carved out of a single tree trunk, but now made out of fiberglass.

Once ashore, we went on what Caren called a "dung walk." We hiked the trails on the island, looking for animal tracks and their droppings. Supposedly, a good tracker can locate the wild animals by examining the dung and foot prints. Caren is putting together a new puzzle she's going to title "Who Did That?" The player has to match the picture of the dung pile with the proper animal. Multiple choice, of course.
