That is quite an ecosystem, the dry forest. I learned another interesting plant today, Sponge fruit. It resembles like the sponges on the sea floor. Those birds are pretty. I never expected those colors to be present in a dry forest setting. Too bad the pollution is another cause why that ecosystem is in danger :/
