More on Mlilwane -- specifically, Stu




Our guide, Stu, as I've already said, was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and even the poo to be found in the park. In the second picture here, he is explaining why hippo poo is so filled with undigested vegetation (hippos are not ruminants). We later decided that some of the folklore he related to us (e.g., the magic male-enhancing powers of the 'sausage-tree' fruit) may have been more amusing than informative.
