"Hello, everyone, and welcome to a new episode of Animalia Ambassadoria." said Miles, as he came in wearing a wet raincoat. "Since today is a rainy day, we're going to see some news from colonies that involve large amounts of water."
---
"First off, one place that's seeing a lot of water is Maelewano." said Miles, as he brought up some pictures from Maelewano. "Because of its location, Maelewano is subject to "wet" and "dry" seasons. Right now, we've received word that Maelewano is facing one of its heaviest rainfalls in its life. Right now, people are focusing on gathering, and purifying, the water for the upcoming dry season, but, here and there, the heavy rain is causing a few odd circumstances." At that, Miles started playing a clip where strange shapes were sliding out of a mud-brick wall, much to the confusion of witnesses.
"No, you're not seeing things." said Miles after the clip ended, "Those are really African lungfish popping out of that wall." Then Miles opened a Zoom call with a marine biologist to talk about how such a thing was possible. Many were amazed at how resilient the lungfish was when it came to drought survival.

"Another place that's getting similarly hammered by heavy rains is the Uluru colony in Australia." Said Miles, after a quick commercial break. "One unexpected side effect of this is the number of nature enthusiasts, and even nature show hosts, showing up to see the emergence of a number of Australian rain-holding frogs." At that, Miles opened up another Zoom call with a zoologist in Northland (the other part of the two-part colony in Australia) about the abilities of rain-holding frogs. Again, many were amazed that such frogs could basically "die", then "come back to life" when the rains come back to the Outback.

"Another place that's getting wet, for a different reason, is Heiya Island (not quite prefecture yet)." said Miles, after another commercial break. "However, this is because Songkran has begun." After Miles gave a brief summary of Songkran for those who weren't familiar with the holiday, he continued. "While most people, locals and tourists alike are more likely going to be focusing more on the water fights and the wet T-shirt contest," At that there were a number of lewd comments, much to Miles' annoyance, "There's also the food and drink, and other activities, such as plays, boxing/martial arts tournaments, and folk songs and music. Also, stay tuned for the Quasi-Raccoon Cuties special coverage of both Songkran 2024, and Ao Guang Island, since Aiko and "Becky" are going to be doing advertising, and recruiting, there."

"And finally," said Miles, after another commercial break, "We look at one of Animalia's most popular developments: Ao Guang Island." After doing a brief flyover of the Island, Miles also did a preview of the planned "Dragon Palace Casino", which focused heavily on the Eastern/Asian Dragon theme, with plenty of "gold" decorations (some more obviously fake than others). "And to wrap this up, I'm going to include a brief word of warning: just because the girls there are willing to do more than what the Geisha on Heiya Island are allowed to do doesn't mean you can force yourselves on them against their will. Aiko can confirm that she's a direct descendant of a ninja clan and fully intends to make sure all her employees, whether male or female, are highly trained mixed martial artists, both for the planned bouts there, as well as fending off the sleazebags who won't take no for an answer. (Austin Powers: Ouch, baby. Very ouch.)
