You will notice that all of our Pods, including Negilahn's, have a few special features. Fortunately, solar power enables our pods to function without outside power sources. However, though our pods will gain power throughout with minimal energy usage, heavy usage will also drain energy units fairly quickly. Be careful to not use up a Pod's energy before nightfall or you may miss out on some sights. | You will notice that all of our Pods, including Negilahn's, have a few special features.

Please remember that while we have placed our Pod in an optimal position, you are visiting a natural habitat and we have no control over when and where you see our friends in Negilahn or if you will see anything at all. Our pods do have sound and scent emitters that will attract Negilahn's inhabitants although, again, these are real animals and there are no guarantees. |

| − | Another of Negiliahn's [sic] inhabitants are fun-loving creatures that like to eat nerims, "gipeli" and other plants and animals. We'll tell you now that, however, that they are timid creatures and we often find them far away from the pod. If you happen to see a reepah consider yourself lucky. | + | Another of Negiliahn's [sic] inhabitants are fun-loving creatures that like to eat "nerims", "gipeli" and other plants and animals.

| − | Gahtsai are usually pretty easy to spot, especially when they are resting, so we'll let you see if you can find them without any hints.

Though "urwins" are technically birds, they can't fly! However, with all the "kiri" around, they don't need to.

The "tarpin shal" is Negilahn's most famous creature and if you get a chance to see one drop down on an unsuspecting animal below it, you'll know why. You'll have to look carefully on the high branches, they are sometimes hard to see but they are worth the effort. |
