After our side trip with a tarantula, we were divided into little groups for the trip through the park. Hardly to believe, but the first thing the Canadian said to us was: “Have you seen our guide? He looks like Mr. Bean.” But he was right, the clothes and even the gesture were nearly the same.
But more important is the spectrum, that he carries around. That’s why it is sometimes a riddle, where the motive is – sometimes it is a wold turkey and other times an artificial vegetable creation – on which he puts his spectrum on.
In doing so, the animals are much nearer to ourselves than we think. Just like a little Leguan sitting on a barren tree, not even two metres next to the path (while we were looking trough all the trees behind it). Many other motives are too far away as though we could see them in a proper way without using binoculars.
Even the guides have their problems. Even though they often know, where a bird has to sit, catching them in a spectrum is another story. Not to mention, that the bird has to sit still for a while, so that every member of the group can see it.
