| Each December and January, rainstorms drench the parched South African landscape and summon African bullfrogs from their subterranean lairs. |
| So dark would it be that the birds would return to their nests, while nocturnal animals would emerge from their lairs. |

| This is when the fish leave their reef lairs and congregate by the thousands on traditional spawning banks to the seaward side of the reef. |
