LISTEN TO THE RUNNING STREAM


Click here to hear Coco Creek trickling through the Capertee Valley (the 2nd largest river valley in the world after the Grand Canyon!).

You can also hear some of the creatures that live here:

1. Pobblebonk frogs

2. Fantailed Cuckoos

Vicky Powys recorded these sounds on her property and she says; "There are river oaks along the creek and a natural rocky habitat. Hope it stays that way."

Thanks Vicki!

Question #1:

What is the other monotreme?

Question #2:

What can't you do in this running stream?
