Arachnids cover all of the following: spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks and mites. They are different from other insects because they have eight legs instead of six.
They are mostly carnivorous, feeding on the pre-digested body of insects and other small animals. Many arachnids are venomous - they secrete poison from specialised glands to kill prey of enemies. Other arachnids are parasites, some of which are carriers of disease.
This programme deals with the rehabilitation and care of abused horses in the Wild Coast area of South Africa, and is a must for anyone who really loves horses. You will ride on trails through the dramatic scenery of the Wild Coast, passing through beach lagoons and lush green game reserves.
The project is situated at the foot of the Drakensberg Mountains to the west of the renowned Kruger National Park. The emphasis is in offering the students a unique bush experience on horseback, walking and driving, where attention is paid not only to the animals, but also to all aspects of local ecology. Volunteers complete an informal course to learn all about conservation in Africa.
