| SPOTTED AT THE AQUARIUM! |
|
Silver the Shark and Terminator the Seal, the Aquarium mascots, are certainly being spotted all over Cape Town. Dressed in full soccer gear – of course! Recently the Red Open Bus had the privilege of hosting them on board – all the way to Table Mountain! Make sure you take time to meet Silver & Terminator these holidays – your best bet is at the Two Oceans Aquarium!

WHAT ANIMAL WAS SPOTTED ON TABLE MOUNTAIN THIS MONTH?
|
|
Did you know that the GROUND WOODPECKER is 1 of only 3 ground dwelling woodpeckers in the world and the largest woodpecker in South Africa? It lives on the barren, steep slopes of the mountain.
The woodpecker feeds on a highly specialized diet of ants. The ants are extracted from ants nests, dead wood or between rocks with the woodpeckers long, sticky tongue. It does not nest in trees, but digs out burrows in the ground. The chicks are cared for by both parents.
