~ The heights of the mountain ridge to the west featured rock outcroppings at irregular intervals. The layered nature of the outcroppings provided shaded crevices of adequate size for reptiles, invertebrates and small mammals. Alas, we were confined far below on a dusty track, unable to peer into a shaded recess to observe any denizens. What required no proximity to appreciate were the numerous euphorbia trees scattered across the lofty landscape. Gazing upwards to the inaccessible landscape, one wondered what species thrived there, undisturbed by passing safari vehicles.
