Weird, Wild & Wacky

Here are some pictures of weird animals and insects and plants I have seen in Ghana. While the following pictures are cool, I could not get photographs of these animals for obvious reasons (but I SAW THEM):

Black Mamba
Green Mamba
Scorpion (my mom and Hannah saw this, and I wish I did!)
Tree Harriet (I heard this the whole night while staying in the tree house at Kakum National Park)
Bush Baby
Civet Cat


snails bigger than my fist

Crocodiles bigger than me

weevils in our oatmeal

cuttle fish bone, size 10

cows in our yard

  1. Those games sound awesome!! I'll show it to my boys who think you can't play these sports without the right "equipment"! Your way looks more fun! Foxxy is an adorable dog!
    Did you eat the cuttlefish? I don't think I've ever had cuttlefish. I really only like to eat sea creatures....not touch them. You are sure having some great adventures! Little League misses you, but you'll be ready next year. Ryan decided not to play his last year. Braden is in AA and having fun. I get to work snack shack tomorrow. Thanks for sharing with us!!!
