2012 Sept – Buntal, Sarawak

beside Bako National Park, we also visit this beautiful mangrove for mangrove , crocodile, dolphin ….

arrive to Buntal village (from Kuching ~45minutes) it should have boat arrangement but prefer to be there earlier as best time for Dolphin ~19am-12pm but also depend on the tide

so excited for the 1st time so close to the wild crocodile .. (~2-4meter away)

someone we shouldn’t get close … Juvenile Peninsula Pit Viper

... Juvenile Peninsula Pit Viper ...

Juvenile Peninsula Pit Viper … it hiding from us well where we stand few feet away but yet to spot it till another group of tourist shoot it real close … only we found out this beautiful snake where we shouldn’t get close …

especially Juvenile , some expert believe they are at stage where do not know how to control the venomous.. when they hit you mean they will release 100% of the venomous which will be more dangerous than the adult …
