He was a dirty little fella eh?
So, on the bike ride - what did you do with him after he had a drink? Did he just take off or did you put him somewhere? |

I think they are keen to abnormally drink water as the dry heat would have sucked all the moisture from the leaves they eat which is where they usually get their moisture right?
