Hare today gone tomorrow

I was involved in a road traffic accident today, and it has effected me quite badly since. I was driving along a country road at about 60kms an hour when I saw a Hare run out into the road.

Lemurs of Madagascar

Back when I had no idea what was happening over in Madagascar, I thought of the place as somewhere utterly untouched. An expanse of incredible rock and woodland that would always be the kingdom of animals large and small.
