I thought the kiwi was a small bird. And that cactus? Impressive

I most surprised by the size of a cactus. I had no idea thathey could get that big. The acacia thorns were second on my list. They could do some real damage! Interesting stories.

Had a most difficult time getting a handle on a meerkat's size until I saw them in person.

Seen cactus (and succulents) that sort of size in the Canaries.

😮The cactus and the acacias’ thorns are impressive but the gloves the funniest because I’ve done that as well but it wasn’t mine it was my son’s and it ended in the bin.🤫😅

The thorns and the cactus were incredible and amazing, living in Canada I've seen huge hail stones before. Nature is wonderful. Bonnie

I’ve been in a hailstorm in Alberta when the hailstones were that size. They did a lot of damage to property and it was very painful if you were caught outside.
