Thank you for the compliment I wasn't to sure about writing under pressure - not my style!
I forgot that other parts of the world have totally different animals in their forests - when I think of forest I only think of the Boreal Forest.
Oh that must be something to

dodge elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, baboons and the likes including snakes and scorpions.

That is something I am grateful for that we don't have any poisonous snakes or scorpions here just mosquitoes, bull flies and deer flies that will drive you nuts!
