8. Bat sits on top of a flower. For a long time it was thought that bats are the primary pollinators of flowers balsa, but recent studies have shown that wood mammals do most of the work.
9. Olinga, carnivorous mammal that as kinkajou, belongs to the family of raccoon, holding a flower terry legs. Kinkajou distilled his fellows, but nimble Olinga quickly jumps on them and are out of reach, and when in flower will be a new batch of nectar.
10. Hummingbird made a nest in the branches of balsa.
11. The African bee surrounded by a fragrant flower, meanwhile black wasp sitting on the edge of the petal and waiting for their turn to drink the sweet nectar.
12. At the dawn of a small gecko lurking near the top of the flower in anticipation of beetles, flies to the fragrant flowers balsa.
