John said of El Toro - Very clever and brave - El bloody Toro made me laugh aloud. What amazing bush experiences of wildness you have had - so exceedingly rare - I am jealous. I also learnt that you need agility to catch Rock Possums, so that's one career lost to me. Ben - Great stories about spideys, I love them myself! Bronwyn said of Eaten Alive- Fantastic story! Angela said of Eaten Alive - Oh wow a compelling story! Interesting behaviours demonstrated in the part of both fish and human!
