LIVING DANGEROUSLY

On Wednesday last week my dad was at his work later on at lunch time something like that he was with his friend.

They were moving the big airgata to a paddock next to where it was now they had to undo the hoses, meanwhile he was standing back 1 meter from the hoses and he undid them and it went up in the air then went into the middle of his to eyes.

He didn't won't to go to the hospital because he will think that he will be in there for a long time and he ad work to do.

It was sore for ages and ages after that he came up to the cow shed next, me, mum and my brother were sitting down on the couch then he had his jacket on him, meanwhile he took it down from his face then my dads friend said that I have a bit of a problem.

It was a triangle sore on his face. It looked so, so, so yuk. So me and mum went into town to get butterfly stripes and first and tape, then we came back to the cow shed and my lovely dad and my lovely mum were happy that it will get better.

My dad is so much better then last week, at the moment he still works at his favourite job ever in the hole in trye world.....

THATS MY DADS NOW...........

BANDED KOKOPU...
Banded kokpu can be distinguished from the other galaxiid species by the presence of the thin, pale, vertical bands along the sides and over the back of the fish. These bands begin to develop quite early, but similar bands also appear on juvenile giant kokopu, and it is easy to confuse young fish of these species. It is probably best to send small speciments to a fish biologist for identification. Banded kokopu commonly grow to over 200mm, and fish of this size should be no problem to identify correctly.

Adult banded kokopu usally live in very small tributaries where there is virtually a vegetation does not have to be native bush, however, and banded kokopu happily live in urban streams and exotic pine plantations so long as overhead shade is present. For example, note how common they are around Auckland and wellington.

In contrast, banded kokopu are rare along the east coast. This distribution is probably a result of intensive land development and the Rivers containing glacial flour or eroding sedimentary catchments would not be attractive to the white bait of this species.
