[00:00:00] In the jungle, you can never lose vigilance. Snakes,
[00:00:03] scorpions, and other venomous animals can be found here every meter,
[00:00:07] and it's very difficult to spot them. Many of them are very well
[00:00:11] camouflaged, adapted to the local colors, to
[00:00:14] bushes, to other objects in the jungle.
[00:00:17] So you have to keep your eyes peeled and watch out not to step on anything.
[00:00:21] Right next to the path, a green garden
[00:00:25] lizard is perched. It's interesting that this lizard,
[00:00:28] although not a chameleon,
[00:00:32] can change its color. I ask Gajanai,
[00:00:35] "Is this lizard common in these areas?" Yes,
[00:00:39] these lizards are the masters of the Sinharaja forests. It seems
[00:00:42] he has bitten off more than he can chew. Yes,
[00:00:46] some insect got caught. If he were bigger, he'd swallow
[00:00:49] me too, because at first I didn't even notice him. Lizards,
[00:00:53] many lizards are insectivores, so they
[00:00:56] camouflage themselves, they sit motionless, like this one merging
[00:01:00] completely with the leaf, and thus motionless they wait for
[00:01:04] an insect, like this purple flower, an insect flies
[00:01:07] to drink nectar, and the lizard then
[00:01:11] *thwack* with its long tongue sticks it and eats it. Very good tactic.
[00:01:29] And...
[00:01:30] fantastic.
[00:01:34] Of course, you must always, even at any given moment,
[00:01:37] not lose your vigilance,
[00:01:39] because snakes, leeches, especially
[00:01:43] other animals can be hiding everywhere.
[00:01:46] So before taking a step, you always
[00:01:49] the snake. Well, have to look
[00:01:49] around carefully.
[00:01:56] It's good that in these jungles there are at least small paths
[00:02:00] that I can walk on, because if I had to go directly
[00:02:04] through the Sinharaja rainforest, it would simply be
[00:02:06] impossible. Look at how the palms
[00:02:10] protect themselves, with spikes, they prick right through. As soon as I touch them,
[00:02:13] they stick right through and pierce
[00:02:15] the skin.
[00:02:22] Look, what a beauty on a fern
[00:02:24] leaf, another garden
[00:02:28] green lizard. Long fingers, and such long
[00:02:32] fingers are, of course, necessary for this lizard to be able to run
[00:02:35] on tree leaves, because look at the fern, fern leaves
[00:02:39] are very small, and to stay on them, the surface area needs to be quite
[00:02:43] paviršiaus plotas būtų ganėtinai
[00:02:44] large.
[00:02:50] Look here, it's
[00:02:52] a snake.
[00:02:55] Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, I see it. It looks
[00:02:59] like a green branch. So well camouflaged.
[00:03:03] It's a pointed-nosed whip snake. It's
[00:03:05] non-venomous, small, but very thin. At first I thought it was just
[00:03:09] a stick, but it turns out
[00:03:12] it's not.
[00:03:18] Aha, here we have
[00:03:20] a snake.
[00:03:25] I'll help you in a moment. Oh,
[00:03:27] look...
[00:03:30] "Although it's not venomous, it's so good,
[00:03:33] it wrapped around my finger. Well, it's trying to eat my friend, but
[00:03:37] it didn't pierce the skin. The main prey of
[00:03:40] this snake are small lizards
[00:03:44] and even sometimes
[00:03:48] frogs. Oh, the teeth are well embedded, you can see them in the skin, you can already see them.
[00:03:51] Look, as soon as I approach with my hand, the snake makes
[00:03:54] an S shape, and when it makes an S shape, it's ready to
[00:03:58] attack."
[00:04:03] "Ah, it seems it has calmed down a little.
[00:04:06] Look how it breathes air.
[00:04:08] Snakes don't have noses, they don't have noses,
[00:04:12] they smell with their tongue. Specifically,
[00:04:15] with their tongue they collect droplets of air,
[00:04:19] then they pull their tongue into their throat, and in the throat,
[00:04:22] snakes have a so-called Jacobson's organ.
[00:04:26] It is with the help of this organ that the tongue then cleans itself
[00:04:30] and understands what is in the environment. It senses
[00:04:33] taste, it senses smell, and that Jacobson's organ is very,
[00:04:37] very strong and smells all the
[00:04:40] air in a very large radius. This is how snakes find
[00:04:43] both prey and other
[00:04:46] animals."
[00:04:49] Well, let's let the snake
[00:04:51] slither away.
[00:05:04] We sit down for a short rest. There's a bench here in the middle of
[00:05:07] the jungle. Well, but we're not sitting here two of us, we're
[00:05:11] three. Do you see our third friend? Okay,
[00:05:14] look around.
[00:05:17] Aha, yes, this one.
[00:05:20] It's called a kangaroo
[00:05:22] lizard.
[00:05:25] Gajanai, why is it called that?
[00:05:29] It's due to its unique behavior and long legs.
[00:05:32] It hops like a kangaroo. Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be a kangaroo
[00:05:36] lizard. It's also very common in these
[00:05:39] forests.
[00:05:42] Okay? But how well it camouflages and how much it trusts its
[00:05:45] camouflage. Now an ant is even walking on it, but it
[00:05:49] doesn't move because it's afraid to show itself to us. Yes,
[00:05:52] little lizard, oh,
[00:05:54] it jumped off.
[00:05:57] "So how many different species, how many different species of lizards and snakes
[00:06:01] live in the Sinharaja
[00:06:02] forests?"
[00:06:05] "Here we find about 10-12 species of lizards, and about
[00:06:09] 15 species of snakes."
[00:06:12] "Are there any large snakes living here?"
[00:06:16] "Yes, perhaps we'll manage to meet a Python or even an Indian
[00:06:19] Cobra? In Sinharaja there are only five species of venomous
[00:06:23] snakes. Four species are deadly
[00:06:25] venomous. So in total nine species of venomous
[00:06:29] snakes, and that is our
[00:06:31] record."
[00:06:35] Let's look for those venomous
[00:06:37] snakes too.
[00:06:47] And in one place in the Sinharaja jungle we saw a small
[00:06:51] body of water, just some kind of puddle, maybe a flowing stream was
[00:06:55] there, but it had a lot of small fish. We'll try to
[00:06:58] lure the fish, and when the fish swim over, maybe a snake will too.
[00:07:02] So I have a piece of biscuit. Let's see if the fish
[00:07:05] react. As soon as I threw a piece of biscuit,
[00:07:09] dozens of fish immediately swam up, the water just started
[00:07:12] boiling. But at that moment, another
[00:07:16] unexpected guest arrived. Look, a water
[00:07:19] snake came right up to the fish, right up to the little fish
[00:07:22] to hunt.
[00:07:23] Fantastic!
[00:07:30] Whoa, whoa, whoa, look how it catches, look how it
[00:07:33] hunts.
[00:07:36] "Is this snake venomous?" "No, it's not venomous. It can
[00:07:40] bite, but generally it's not dangerous."
[00:07:46] Although not venomous, it's truly an impressive snake,
[00:07:49] the Sri Lankan water snake. Well, it would probably be
[00:07:53] very difficult to see it if it weren't for these biscuits, I wouldn't have
[00:07:57] seen them. Water snakes are characterized
[00:08:00] by not being venomous. They are usually
[00:08:03] found in streams, in stagnant bodies of water in reeds,
[00:08:07] where they hunt small fish, and they don't have
[00:08:10] venom, which means they, like pike, catch a small fish and
[00:08:13] swallow it. Meanwhile, in the ocean coastal
[00:08:17] areas there are still quite a few marine
[00:08:21] snake species that live in the water and they are
[00:08:24] very venomous. In this case, it was ideal conditions for it, because dozens
[00:08:28] of small fish had gathered in one place,
[00:08:31] exactly the size that this snake
[00:08:34] feeds on.
[00:08:38] Oh, it caught it! It caught it!
[00:08:41] Oh, look! "It caught
[00:08:43] a fish. Fantastic! We just
[00:08:47] witnessed a snake hunt, a successful snake
[00:08:50] hunt, a water snake hunt, which hunts
[00:08:54] fish. However, such a commotion and boiling water attracted
[00:08:58] not only the fish and the snake, but also another
[00:09:01] uninvited guest, a catfish."
[00:09:05] And here an impressive
[00:09:07] drama unfolded.
[00:09:09] The catfish grabbed the snake which had caught
[00:09:12] the fish. Then a fight ensued in the water. This was quite
[00:09:16] a sight, an absolute chaos.
[00:09:21] The water was simply boiling. The catfish was spinning.
[00:09:24] The snake wrapped itself around the catfish. Then
[00:09:28] the catfish grabbed it with its jaws,
[00:09:31] bit it firmly and swam into the depths of the water. We didn't
[00:09:35] see the snake or the catfish
[00:09:36] anymore.
[00:09:40] Drama, a drama in nature. To us it's drama, but here in the jungle,
[00:09:44] it's just another minute in the wild.
[00:09:48] Here every minute, every second, a struggle for survival takes place, and only
[00:09:52] those who are the strongest and best
[00:09:54] adapted survive.
[00:10:03] Another lizard in our Sinharaja
[00:10:07] collection.
[00:10:10] This species with a lump
[00:10:12] on its nose is one of the rarest here in Sinharaja. Usually,
[00:10:16] distinctive anatomical characteristics in animals appear for
[00:10:19] beauty, to show the richness of their body,
[00:10:22] strength, power, and the female. Usually,
[00:10:26] such male antics, such male body parts are very responsive, and thus they
[00:10:30] attract them.
[00:10:34] This lizard, similar to a chameleon, can change its
[00:10:38] color. So if it lands somewhere on
[00:10:41] a green surface, it turns
[00:10:44] green. If it goes onto a brown trunk, it can turn
[00:10:47] brown. This is simply natural body adaptation, so
[00:10:51] that this lizard can camouflage itself and avoid predators.
[00:11:01] "And another sweet creature in the Sinharaja
[00:11:04] jungle. Look here, on the stump.
[00:11:08] What a beauty.
[00:11:10] A millipede. All black, with colorful
[00:11:14] legs. As soon as it heard
[00:11:16] some movement, felt it, it immediately curled up into a ball.
[00:11:20] Up, up,
[00:11:23] attached.
[00:11:25] A beauty.
[00:11:28] Up and it curls up. Look at those
[00:11:30] legs. Up, up, up,
[00:11:33] it flew off.
[00:11:36] And at the end it has something that looks like a stinger, but it's not a stinger, but just
[00:11:39] a tail. Oh, black as coal,
[00:11:43] gleaming. Because it's not a predator. They
[00:11:47] a pliešūnai, jie dažniausiai
[00:11:50] usually feed on plants, mostly on
[00:11:53] rotten wood and various plants. So
[00:11:57] there, okay, let's put the millipede back where it
[00:12:01] was. Let it
[00:12:03] continue its journey. Maybe it will start marching again, let's see.
[00:12:31] "In Sinharaja, workers are laying a road with a
[00:12:34] tractor. And what do you think? Right nearby there's
[00:12:38] a snake.
[00:12:40] And already four people, four workers, had gathered
[00:12:44] around this snake. One of them, with a machete, of course, tried
[00:12:47] to cut it in half. So we saved it just in
[00:12:50] time. What a beautiful snake. At first glance
[00:12:54] it seems that... it should definitely be a venomous snake, because such
[00:12:57] patterns are usually characteristic of venomous
[00:13:00] snakes. But some snakes pretend
[00:13:03] to be venomous, just to prevent other animals
[00:13:07] from catching and eating them. And
[00:13:11] indeed, even I, looking at it, immediately thought, 'Oh, I shouldn't get close
[00:13:15] to this one.' Although it's not a venomous snake,
[00:13:18] this snake is quite aggressive, this species,
[00:13:21] and if you provoke it, it bites quite
[00:13:25] hard, because it has sharp teeth, and those
[00:13:28] teeth will sink into your flesh, and there will definitely be a lot of
[00:13:32] blood. And then, of course, there can be an infection, all sorts of things. So
[00:13:36] it's better not to let it get too close, because now it's
[00:13:39] agitated, so it can be unpredictable."
[00:13:55] Another beauty of the Sinharaja jungle, already towards evening.
[00:13:58] I thought we wouldn't find anything, we walked more than 15 km,
[00:14:02] but here, look at what
[00:14:05] a beautiful
[00:14:06] snake.
[00:14:12] Undoubtedly, this is the most beautiful snake of all those
[00:14:15] seen today.
[00:14:18] A deadly venomous snake.
[00:14:22] In Lithuania, we only have one species of viper, while here there are
[00:14:26] several different species of vipers, and this is the only
[00:14:29] viper in the Sinharaja forest and indeed in all of
[00:14:32] Sri Lanka, which is sometimes found on trees, not even
[00:14:35] sometimes, usually on trees, on branches, climbing on
[00:14:38] grass, because this species of snake feeds not only
[00:14:42] on rodents or frogs, but especially loves
[00:14:46] lizards. This is precisely the place where lizards are most often
[00:14:49] found on branches, catching insects, not seeing
[00:14:53] such a snake, which is perfectly camouflaged and simply
[00:14:57] eats them.
[00:14:59] Wow, especially impressive head, what
[00:15:03] patterns! Pay attention to how it has
[00:15:06] coiled its neck and nape into an S
[00:15:09] shape, which means it is ready to attack at any moment,
[00:15:13] to attack prey.
[00:15:16] It's very clear when you look closely, the pupil of the eye
[00:15:20] is elongated, which is characteristic of venomous
[00:15:24] snakes and... especially vipers. And the head itself
[00:15:27] is triangular in shape, which is also one
[00:15:31] of the characteristics of vipers. Even more interesting
[00:15:34] is that it is an endemic species found only
[00:15:37] in Lanka. Well, we naturalists like such curiosities as
[00:15:40] endemic species, meaning species not found anywhere else,
[00:15:44] only in a specific region. A creature of amazing beauty,
[00:15:47] venomous, deadly
[00:15:49] venomous.
[00:15:52] Well, what is characteristic of snakes is that they swallow their prey whole,
[00:15:56] they don't chew it. And that means that the snake's head has to
[00:16:00] open very wide. And for it to open so wide, usually
[00:16:04] the bones of the snake's head, skull, and jaw
[00:16:07] all dislocate, dislocate, so to speak,
[00:16:11] on the skin, and only when it has swallowed everything, do
[00:16:15] all the bones return to
[00:16:16] their place.
[00:16:22] Well, we're getting unexpected guests, monkeys,
[00:16:25] macaques are coming, and now we need to scare them
[00:16:28] away as quickly as possible, because they saw that we are near the snake
[00:16:32] and will try to catch and eat it. We don't
[00:16:35] want that at all, because this snake is quite rare,
[00:16:39] and... and... and... well, simply finding it just because we are here
[00:16:42] would not be some natural selection, but simply we would have betrayed the snake's
[00:16:46] location. These macaques are perfectly
[00:16:50] adapted to hunt vipers, and they know how to
[00:16:54] catch them without being
[00:16:55] bitten.
[00:17:00] Run, run, run, run, run aside, go eat
[00:17:02] bananas. It seems we chased
[00:17:05] them away in time. Although we really didn't plan to
[00:17:08] move this viper, we wanted to leave it as
[00:17:12] it is. But since the monkeys came, now we have no choice
[00:17:15] but to rescue this snake and hide it from the monkeys.
[00:17:19] We carry
[00:17:26] the snake has been moved onto a fern, on the other side, where
[00:17:30] it blocks the view
[00:17:32] for the monkeys. Well, it seems we just need to
[00:17:36] move on from this place and hurry, before the monkeys
[00:17:40] see where we put it, because if we stay here any longer, the monkeys will
[00:17:43] surely try to see what we are doing here and find
[00:17:46] the snake again. So let's continue our journey into the Sinharaja jungles and leave this
[00:17:50] wonderful green viper to continue hunting, hunting
[00:17:53] lizards and other
[00:17:54] animals.
[00:18:01] On the first day in the Sinharaja jungle, we managed to find several
[00:18:05] different snakes and lizards. I certainly had many impressions,
[00:18:09] but they were not enough. After consulting with my friend Gayanu,
[00:18:12] we decided that we don't want to rest and we are going on
[00:18:16] a night walk through the outskirts of
[00:18:19] the Sinharaja jungle and will look for nocturnal
[00:18:22] snakes.
[00:18:28] At dusk, many other animals are still visible, snakes,
[00:18:31] lorises, sometimes such primates appear here. So I think
[00:18:35] we'll go for another walk for at least a couple of hours at night around the village and
[00:18:39] see what we can
[00:18:40] find here.
[00:18:44] Still, we didn't go directly into the jungle at night, it would still be
[00:18:47] dangerous. At night you don't see or hear all the animals that are
[00:18:51] around you. So we decided to walk along the village paths,
[00:18:55] small roads, where snakes are sometimes found. Well,
[00:19:02] the last thing I'd want is probably to step on
[00:19:05] a cobra, which are also found here, and not
[00:19:08] infrequently. Local residents occasionally even observe them
[00:19:12] in the village, let alone the jungle. And especially
[00:19:15] late evening and early morning are the times when
[00:19:19] cobras are
[00:19:20] most active.
[00:19:24] It seems we found something. Let's
[00:19:26] go see. Darius found
[00:19:28] something.
[00:19:31] Oh, I don't know what's worse, stepping on
[00:19:34] such a scorpion or stepping on a cobra. Probably
[00:19:38] the outcome would be similar. A black
[00:19:40] scorpion.
[00:19:45] "Is this scorpion common here, is it
[00:19:48] venomous?" "This species is found in the Sinharaja
[00:19:51] forests. The sting of these scorpions is venomous, but
[00:19:55] not deadly."
[00:20:00] "Is it only active at night?" "Yes, they are nocturnal
[00:20:03] animals."
[00:20:07] Okay, what is it waiting for, what is its prey? It
[00:20:11] likes small insects, various flies. You can see it's
[00:20:14] ready to hunt. I'm very happy that it's an insectivore.
[00:20:31] Wow, a snake.
[00:20:33] Okay, just run over by a car.
[00:20:41] "What species is this? It's a common armored
[00:20:44] keelback. These reptiles often become prey for other snakes,
[00:20:47] especially cobras
[00:20:50] and kraits." "Indeed, cobras hunt such keelbacks."
[00:20:54] "Yes."
[00:21:02] Well, another animal, this time a little spider, a cute little spider, about
[00:21:06] the size of my palm, so completely adorable, makes you want to
[00:21:09] pet it, right? So, there are certainly
[00:21:12] plenty of spiders here, and at night everything always looks much scarier and
[00:21:16] bigger.
[00:21:23] Leeches. Leeches, of course, are that good
[00:21:27] thing that is found both during the day and at
[00:21:29] night, and people love
[00:21:33] them very much.
[00:21:39] We found some abandoned garden, you can see there are still many
[00:21:43] seedlings left, but there are a lot of fallen dry
[00:21:46] leaves, well, all sorts of branches and other things.
[00:21:50] These are usually very good places to look for snakes, because
[00:21:53] snakes like such messes, let's call them that. There are
[00:21:57] many places where they can hide, rest, hunt, and so on. So
[00:22:01] we'll try to stay here a little longer and maybe we'll find
[00:22:03] something.
[00:22:11] Yes. Yes.
[00:22:15] Junk, junk
[00:22:15] camera.
[00:22:21] "Aha, we found it, we found it, it looks like
[00:22:23] a snake.
[00:22:27] About this long, very
[00:22:30] thin, thinner than my finger, but incredibly
[00:22:33] long. It's a cat
[00:22:36] snake, but it's very
[00:22:38] slow.
[00:22:44] In an attack pose.
[00:22:48] What a beauty." It's moderately
[00:22:52] venomous. Okay, so it's one of those where you might
[00:22:55] die or you might not die. Moderately
[00:22:58] venomous. Its full name is Forster's cat
[00:23:02] snake. Well, the little snake has calmed down. A couple
[00:23:05] of minutes passed since we found it. At first it still tried to escape, but even that was
[00:23:09] quite clumsy. Now it's completely settled on our
[00:23:13] stick and is just watching what's
[00:23:15] happening here.
[00:23:21] The little snake is already crawling on the leaf surface. We released it, but
[00:23:25] you see, it's not even rushing. It immediately settled into a hunting spot. It seems
[00:23:28] as if we weren't even here, it pays no
[00:23:31] attention.
[00:23:36] Well, yes, and you always have to look around to see if there are no leeches on you. This one
[00:23:39] is a bit fatter. Today a couple of fat ones
[00:23:43] sucked my blood. So you either just
[00:23:46] throw it off or spray it a little, and it should fall off by itself.
[00:23:50] Oh, I already feel another
[00:23:52] one.
[00:23:56] Oh, another
[00:24:07] one slithering.
[00:24:11] Another venomous snake, I still don't know what kind, but the patterns
[00:24:15] were impressive. Black, vividly black,
[00:24:18] vividly white.
[00:24:23] Look at this little zebra, I'm joking, of course, it's not a little zebra, it's
[00:24:26] a snake, and one of the most venomous in Sri Lanka.
[00:24:29] And so tiny, look at my palm. Well, I don't want to get
[00:24:33] too close, but it's very, very tiny,
[00:24:36] smaller than a mouse, but the amount of venom
[00:24:40] is simply enormous. Wow, it's hiding under the
[00:24:43] leaves. We managed to see it at first, but it quickly
[00:24:46] hid. We cleared the leaves and found it hiding.
[00:24:50] Fantastic.
[00:24:54] This snake is deadly venomous and is found only in Sri Lankan
[00:24:57] forests. It likes damp tropical
[00:25:00] forests.
[00:25:03] You can see that this little snake is still small, a juvenile. How much more will
[00:25:07] it grow? It should reach two feet in length.
[00:25:10] This is the Sri Lankan
[00:25:11] krait.
[00:25:20] We walked for hours in the night jungle, not even entirely in the jungle, but on the edges of the village,
[00:25:23] truly a fun evening. Very hot, I have
[00:25:26] to say, but productive. In two hours we managed to find three
[00:25:30] different snakes, admittedly, one was run over and dead on the road,
[00:25:34] but two were really very interesting Sri Lankan snakes, as
[00:25:38] well as a scorpion, also a toad,
[00:25:41] we saw other animals, so I think that's
[00:25:44] really enough for me, and now it's time to go rest, because tomorrow morning
[00:25:48] I'm getting up early again and... again back to the jungle from early morning
[00:25:52] to try to find other reptiles that are found here in the Sinharaja
[00:25:56] forests.
[00:27:02] All the snakes we find here in Sinharaja are alive. Yesterday we found
[00:27:06] one run over on the road. Meanwhile, this morning we managed to
[00:27:10] find a snake that was simply dead in the middle of the jungle.
[00:27:13] I don't know what actually happened to it, maybe some scared bird pecked at
[00:27:17] it. However, in any case, this is a new species of snake
[00:27:20] for us in the Sinharaja
[00:27:22] jungle.
[00:27:26] This is the Sri Lankan wolf snake, also an endemic
[00:27:29] species. Very interesting appearance. You see, the snake's
[00:27:33] head and body seem to be separated by a white stripe.
[00:27:36] The venomous krait, which we found tonight, does not have
[00:27:40] such a stripe. This means that this snake pretends to be very
[00:27:43] venomous to protect itself from
[00:27:53] specific. You just have to walk very slowly,
[00:27:57] travel through the jungle and constantly look around, first under your feet,
[00:28:00] and then at eye level. "You have to look very carefully
[00:28:04] at objects on leaves and
[00:28:05] bushes."
[00:28:12] Another little lizard in our collection, in the Sinharaja jungle
[00:28:16] collection. This one looks quite brown, but
[00:28:19] it is certainly not a Lithuanian lizard, which also lives in Lithuania,
[00:28:23] ovoviviparous and also brown. This one is completely
[00:28:25] different.
[00:28:31] "It's a skink." In Sri Lanka, several species of these lizards
[00:28:34] live. In Sinharaja, we find four to five species
[00:28:38] of skinks. "Great, they are probably
[00:28:41] insectivores." "Yes, but sometimes they also hunt
[00:28:45] small snakes."
[00:28:48] Let's leave this little lizard to bask in the sun, let's not disturb it, and let's continue through
[00:28:52] the Sinharaja
[00:28:52] jungles.
[00:28:59] More lizards on our path, this time they are kangaroos.
[00:29:02] If translated literally,
[00:29:05] it's a very beautiful male, a male, and
[00:29:09] nearby is a female, so the male is all tense,
[00:29:12] showing off all his beauty, such a greenish head, and
[00:29:16] his whole pose, his stance, you can see that he is very confident and shows
[00:29:20] the female that he is a suitable
[00:29:22] for mating.
[00:29:24] Meanwhile, the female is right here next to my finger.
[00:29:28] It seems that this pair has already bonded
[00:29:31] and will have
[00:29:32] offspring.
[00:29:36] Well, in some parts of the jungle the passages are simply
[00:29:40] terrible. And to get down from
[00:29:44] them...
[00:29:48] Well, yes, not everywhere there are paths and tracks,
[00:29:52] especially if you want to reach more interesting
[00:30:17] "Gajanai, you caught a lizard!" "Yes,
[00:30:20] I caught it." "Did you catch it on a leaf?" "Yes,
[00:30:23] I saw it on a leaf. It's a medium-sized lizard, one
[00:30:27] of the rarer reptiles in Sri Lankan
[00:30:29] forests."
[00:30:36] This horned driedžas,
[00:30:39] means he has horns, you can look, just
[00:30:43] don't let him run away.
[00:30:47] A small, small driedžas, small, small, but he has a big
[00:30:51] horn, like a unicorn on the tip of his nose he has
[00:30:54] a horn, so this is a certain group of driedžas that have
[00:30:58] horns or bumps like that.
