comments,

• The Knysna Lourie is one of the African continent\s most unmistakable birds.""Have you ever seen a bird like it?
• Can you believe our feathered friend is actually a member of the European cuckoo family?""That\s where the similarities end
• This curious-looking creature would get a real shock if it looked in a mirror.""You\ll have to go a long way south to get right up close.
• These animals live in the forests of South Africa\s Western Cape Province.""Shall we also check out the big city that sails into view up the coast?
