Safari


When on safari, take only pictures….

Leave only footprints….

And please don’t wake the animals!

My newest illustrated book I See the Animals Sleeping, a Bedtime Story, written by Thomas Heffron, Illustrated by me, and produced by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine comes out in June 2011!

I can hardly wait!!!

Layer

Shhh…. Under layers of earth the platypus is sleeping.

Platypus spend around half their day resting in short, oval-shaped burrows of about 3 to 8 m long that they dig into earth banks around rivers, lakes or streams. They often have multiple burrows scattered along their home range. Females also dig elaborate nesting burrows around 20 m long with multiple chambers and earth plugs which they share with their unweaned young. The burrow is expertly hidden from predators. You might walk right by it and never notice it.

A sneak peek of my newly illustrated book coming out in the spring of 2011.
