African Lungfish

I first saw a piece of this video on Twitter and decided it was so amazing and unusual I had to share it with Some Favourite Things visitors. 

African Lungfish is a freshwater eel-like fish that aestivates during the dry season. Aestivation is similar to hibernation in that the animal enters a period of inactivity but it occurs during the heat and dryness of the African summer. Differing accounts say the fish can lie buried and dormant for 1 to 4 years. People "fishing" for them look for telltale air holes in the dry river bed.

Do you know anybody that has never been to IKEA? It's an experience for sure, sometimes, even enjoyable. But did you know that we in North America have been pronouncing the name of the store incorrectly?

Here's the correct pronunciation, not that I'm going to change. Everybody would be shouting at me that I'm wrong!

Lost?

In tribute to my walk on Offa's Dyke Path, along the border between England and Wales.
