White-rumped Shama (Copsychus malabaricus), Botanical Gardens, Ratchaburi |
Bullfrog (Kaloula pulchra): We caught this little fellow just outside our apartment. They are named bull frogs because when the start calling it sounds like a cow (it does a bit), after a rainshower these little fellows start singing there hearts out, if it is heavy rain it is hard to hear the TV over them |
Forest Crested Lizard ( Calotes emma emma): Duncan caught "this little ripper" at night in Khao Sok national park. He was sitting on a branch minding his own business when unfortunately (for him) we found him. |
Forest Crested lizard ( Calotes emma emma): Here is one I managed to catch just as Dunc caught the other, this "beauty" was found in tree which had just fallen over ealier that night |
Some sort of Tree Frog (?): What a succesful night we had in Khao Sok, here is yet another catch, this time a tree frog which was found siting right in the middle of a massive leaf |
Common Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax): This tree frog is another regular outside our apartments. After the rains these little fellas sit on the drain covers and call to the females, adding to the noise coming from the Bullfrogs |
Red-Tailed Pipe Snake (Cylindrophis rufus rufus): Some interesting road kill (unfortunately the most common way to see snakes in Thailand) on a road just outside Khao Sok National Park. This species of snake is quite rare as it is a burrowing species, where it eats earthworms |
Long-tailed Macaque ( Macaca fascicularis): This curious individual came quite close to us in order to see what was going on and more importantly to steal some Durian husks (he is welcome to the Durian). In the Botanical Gardens, Ratchaburi |
White-handed Gibbon (Hylobates lar): one of the old residents of the Gibbon Sanctuary, Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, Phuket. Unfortuanately not one of our pictures, but one from the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project. Great place even managed to speak to some other Scottish Zoologists (a group of undergrads had come out for 2 months from Glasgow University) |
Cave Dwelling Necatarivorous Bat (Eonycteris spelaea)This little fella is that the bat that we are out here to study, the yellow stuff on his head and neck is pollen, which we then identify. |
