Hi Peter and all

During the late 70's our family lived in northwestern Nigeria.  There  
were termite mounds there as well, but not grass covered and many  
were 6-8 feet high.  We have photos of our son, then 10, beside a  
termite mound easily twice his height.  Possibly a different species  
than in Namibia
