What an excellent film! I found it really fascinating to watch the nest-building process and I had no idea the female would then protect her eggs, unlike other species, which lay and then leave their eggs to incubate, hatch and then fend for themselves.
Such stunning specimens too! I have to admit to becoming quite green with envy at their lovely enclosure.
Thanks for sharing that, Jonathan.
