The outrageous design of this moss mimic stick insect. Hanging out on moss after heavy rains. Such a cool looking creature.
A group of endangered Borneo Pygmy Elephants cooling off in a tributary of the mighty Kinabatangan River. A beautiful encounter, 17 years after my last time meeting them. For how much longer will we be able to experience this joy, with only 1500 left in the wild.

Might be an unremarkable little snake but it’s my first time seeing the Dwarf Reed Snake.
Last night I found one of my favourite things to find. A gorgeous Atlas moth. I will never get used to seeing these remarkable creatures.
This is a Chorotypus. A type of dead leaf grasshopper. It landed on the fence beside me while I was walking at night. The camo doesn’t stand up well on a fence, but what an extraordinary creature. I’m in awe of its design.
One of my favourite finds came on the edge of a Bornean rainforest - the astonishingly beautiful and absolutely fascinating Orchid Mantis. It feels like it is entirely overdressed for its diet of bugs. Extravagant for the sake of it.
The extraordinary privilege of going for a walk at night and meeting a critically endangered Sunda pangolin. Every time is an honour. One day, if we don’t act, humans might talk about a time when scaled mammals walked the earth.
Oof! Someone is feisty! Wagler’s pit vipers in Singapore are usually so chilled out. Clearly this big girl was not! The phone was zoomed and I wasn’t in strike range.
The unique Dragon-headed Katydid sitting on a leaf over a fast flowing Borneo stream. Unfortunately I couldn’t get close enough to get a better photo without disturbing it.
Nature never fails to boggle the mind. This dead leaf is actually a Leaf-mimic moth found on the trail in the highlands of Borneo.
In a low roadside tree alongside a country road in Borneo. A gorgeous Bornean Slow Loris. Shot with my phone and a little selfie light carried for just such an unlikely occasion
This extraordinary little snail crossing the road in Borneo. Greener than green!
American Toads doing what toads do on the first hot day for the year in Toronto.
Saltwater Crocodile - this is what lies beneath the waters of city state Singapore. Swimming towards Malaysia in this video.
The astonishing moment that I found a large female Wagler’s pit viper devouring a freshly captured fruit bat. That’s why they hang out in fig trees.
Had a little trip to North America. Here are some gorgeous Southern Sea Otters on a rainy day. Baby at the milk bar while mother washes her face. Such a joy!
This thumbnail-sized miracle from the forests of Singapore is called a Man-faced stink-bug (Catacanthus incarnatus). Can you see why? Can’t unsee that.
A jewel escaped from the jewellery box. A stunning little Blue-eared kingfisher preening itself. Singapore mangroves.
It’s astonishing to me that these huge Saltwater crocodiles cruise the mangroves of city state Singapore.
It’s a great day when you meet a King cobra along the trail. Sensational to meet a male and female edging closer together for a potentially fatal attraction
Found a friend in the bird hide today. Paradise tree snake looking for a gecko for lunch

All, conservation efforts have taken the Raffles’ Banded Langur in Singapore from just 10 individuals to a population of nearly 80. We are trying to win $10k conservation funding for this delightful, peaceful monkey. All you have to do is vote for it 🙏: uproar.indianapoliszoo.com

I met a Saltwater crocodile with a feather on the tip of its snout. Care to give it a scratch?
