Memories of New Zealand (III)

Located in the middle of New Zealand's North Island, the Glowworm Cave is a limestone cave with underground rivers, stalactites and stalagmites formed by dripping water all year round, and is named for the tens of millions of fireflies on the roof of the cave.

Enter the firefly cave, not too far is the underground river, want to see the fireflies need to take a boat, at this time the boatman will put forward requirements to tourists: sitting on the boat can not move, can not speak, can not take pictures, because fireflies can not be frightened, boatmen can not row, he can only use his hands to touch the rope forward, the cave is dark, everyone holds their breath, the top of the cave is dotted, like a sky full of stars, is spectacular.

Fireflies live only a few months, eating a mosquito can live for 7 days, fly out of the hole only once in a lifetime, mate back to lay eggs, and a firefly can produce more than 200 eggs.

Figure 4 is Kiwi, New Zealand's national bird, the bird's eggs account for one-third of the body, the mother bird is tired after laying eggs, and the male bird needs to hatch the eggs.

Figure 5 Possum, is Kiwi's natural enemy, but also a pest beast, can eat all the leaves, the tree eats death, the possum hair is soft, good warmth, is a good material for making a warm coat.
