Nature Check

Near the edge of the rainforest, Lucanus spots a weird kapok tree, and the group spends some time trying to diagnose this plant disease. However, they're rudely interrupted and must fight for their lives before they can reach an answer. We talk about ecotones or the transition zones between ecosystems, and then the group makes their way through the ecotone between the rainforest and a hilly grassland. One of the hillsides in this new environment holds some rocky surprises.REFERENCE SECTIONFollow us on Twitter:Nature Check: @CheckNatureSheryl/DM: @RvingNaturalistJoe/Lucanus: @StylopidaePeter/Cedric: @petercoffeyRyan/Fletcher: @EntemneinNancy/Kae: @ScibugsCindy/Nautia: @unboundpageChannel art by Sheryl/The Roving Naturalist
