Whitefish River Plants and ants

Hoping this can go towards his naturalist trade

FitzDutiful was out by the river, exploring what plants and animals lived nearby. He'd experienced a lot while building up his naturalist trade. He'd investigated plant life around the Caldera, compared that to the plants around Silvertip Mountain. He had first hand experience of the benefits of the hot springs and made a note of what lived around there. Now he was here to compare and contrast with the river.

Walking downstream, he noticed the fish swimming and made a mental observation that this could provide food for his pack. It was interesting the way things differed from one area to the next. Some of the plants he had spotted around the Caldera he hadn't come across at all here, others seemed to be in abundance everywhere.

Stopping, he carefully noised towards a spiky plant and was promptly awarded a sting on his nose. "Ouch!" he exclaimed, marvelling at his stupidity. Lesson learnt - don't get too near spiky things!
