Playtime:
🦜These #mongoose pups were wrestling when a #hornbill appeared down the road
🦜Mongooses lie on their backs to invite another mongoose to wrestle

How #Snow Forms:
❄️An ice crystal forms when a water #droplet freezes onto a #dust particle in the atmosphere
❄️As it falls, the #crystal grows by absorbing surrounding water droplets
❄️The snow we see on the ground is an accumulation of these ice crystals
