There are many things that live in a tree: monkeys, sparrows, hawks, bugs, frogs, lizards, owls, squirrels, chipmunks, termites, George of the Jungle and Tarzan. At least those are what a regular, everyday American might think of when asked what lives in a tree. But get this, the animals on this farm just aren't your everyday, typical animals.
Here in Abomoso, Ghana, this is what REALLY lives in the trees :)
The Goats
The Chickens
And The Ants
NOT NORMAL!!! :)
Actually, the Abu's have a tree that has a large branch very low to the ground, so the goats and the chickens (like little kids) use the tree as their playground. It makes for really cool pictures though!
The Ants are the only one of the 3 that actually live in the trees. They build those hives on the side of the trees and live like that. It's really cool to see them there. We're just used to seeing the ant hives in the ground, so seeing them on the tree is a totally new sensation.
Anyway, just so everyone knows, Spencer now has a new name. It's Spanky! This kid named Joe has developed this weird desire to call Spencer Spanky and it makes us laugh so hard.
Today, Spencer was racing with the kids and Joe, in his African accent just kept saying, "OH! Spanky can run! Spanky can run!!!" It was awesome!
I Love Spanky!
