There's life in and out of the river

Ten stories link the trees from the margins to the animals and moisture. Compare the otter and the water mole, follow the relationship with the aquatic insects and discover the water lizard. Each text distinguishes general biology, regional references and documented records; it is a path of reading, not sighting.
