@ leoplaw leeches secrete an enzyme into the wound that stops blood from clotting to facilitate their blood sucking. An old remedy to stem the bleeding is to put ground pepper on the wound, or put another leech on it ;)
Hmmm... pepper, hadn't heard of that. Leeches love my ankles.
lovely place, what else you got down under? Cute and cuddly vampire koalas? That would be a subject for a painting, lol
Those vampire koalas that like to cuddle are called Drop Bears. Be wary when walking through the Australian bush at night.
ah yes, I remember it now, Leo, you told me all about it once before, maybe that is why I thought of it!
