1:03:27
When they sleep, their heads
never touch the ground...

1:03:31
...because there are crawly things
in the sand that can get into their ears.

and use their shoulders as pillows.

to listen to two teachers at once.

1:04:33
They are superb mimics,
and they feel a close affinity...

1:04:36
...with the animals who are
their neighbors and also their food.
