48、re I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg. I kept shouting, “Get them off!” and the film crew kept saying, “Just a minute this makes a really good shot!”Charlottes journey into the heart of the worlds most significant rainforests was an inspiring experience. “Th

49、e rainforest really is like a city. Each tree is like an urban highrise building with hundreds of residents.
