Fresh to Death

It's April shower season and this week we are soaking it all in by taking the plunge into freshwater habitats. Keeping it cool, calm and quiet, we are searching for a couple of very shy critters. We're country hopping today as we begin our journey in South Africa, gently scouring the riparian banks for one of Africa's most endangered animals: the Riverine Rabbit. Then we bounce over to South America where we'll drift dreamily in the plentiful wetland waters and peer into the dense, dark foliage to get a glimpse of the Boat-billed Heron.
