M6 Egypt Safari :)

     I'm on my way to Egypt now. It's going to be pretty easy to get there because its along the Red sea, and the Mediterranean sea. Issa let me have a camel which they call the "Ship of the desert" because they can go through ocean's of sand. I thought it would be best, camels can survive weeks with out food or water. When they have a chance to drink water, they fill up. Camels can drink 25 gallons of water with out stopping. Camels can also carry up to 500 pounds for 30 miles.
     I saw some mountains up ahead and decided to check them out. Inside there was a large cave. I picked up a rock and threw it in the cave to see how far it went. I didn't here it hit anything, but i did hear...flapping? 
All of a sudden a big swarm of bats flew out of the cave. I quickly hid behind the cave. When the sound was far far away, i sneaked a peek in the cave. There was a little mouse getting up from a good nights sleep. He was brown, and blended well with the landscaping. When he saw me, the little mouse scurried away. 
     My camel and I continued are safari through Egypt near some nice trees.They were all spaced out, I could not tell if it was a forest or not. We ended up on the coast of the Red Sea. I was inspecting a salt water mangrove. A tree that grows partly under water and partly above the surface. I was also looking at a coral reef under the banks of the Red Sea. It looked like its been there for EVER. I could tell because I was watching old polyps die and new ones attach to the skeletons. I could have sat here for days, but then my stomach growled. 
     We wandered around Egypt in search of food. Soon, we came to the Nile. There were Date,citrus,pomegranate, and  apricot trees. We settled under a eucalyptus tree, it provided good shade and smelled like menthol cough drops. I saw a ibis dive down to the Nile and grab a fish. It quickly grabbed it and flew off. In the birds tight grip, I saw the fish flop around like a buffoon. After a while I decided to continue my safari. 
      It looked like sun down. I did not feel tired, but my camel started to slow down. We rested by the delta. I woke to the sound of a...snake? I sat strait up. It was a snake! But it was not looking at me. No, it was looking at a big cat. It looked like a big tabby cat, only the tail was shorter and thicker. I jumped as it lunged for the snake, After a while, the wild cat left with the big snake in mouth. This place was a little to violent for my taste. I woke my camel and we went to go sleep, in the bats cave. :)
