    You forgot the fruit bats :D All I can say is don't park under a tree at night if you see them roosting in it. Those things are huge. And the green ants...sat on one when in Cairns....ouch :lol: When I first heard the kookabura, I thought it was a monkey :D

    I hope you enjoyed your stay in the Far North when you were their.
    I am Cairns boy and have had many funny expeirances with green ants,
    such as up a tree picking mangos and my big bro smashed me with a green ant nest about the size of a basketball , they were all over me so say the least. I ended up falling out of the tree but by chance was not hurt just had the crappers bitten out of me.
    Did you know if you lick a green ants bum it tastes just like vinigar ( true )

    LOL Really?? LOL

    I knew of a bloke who decided to lick his anemone and said it tasted just like pepper ( just before they took him to hospital ) but I have never heard of anyone trying to lick an ants bum. I still cannot even imagine the logistics of that act :)

    John :)
