For the penultimate programme (or, more appropriately, ‘program’ (although not necessarily)) we were in North America. I like North America. The fireflies were stars, but the Prairie Dogs (which I think were filmed in the Badlands NP but I might be wrong) were CLRs (see here and here for more on CLRs). Roadrunners are amazing….

Just over two weeks later (after my first kangaroos, Duck-billed…
I’m not driving through there…
