It’s not a new mammal family, but definitely a new addition to our collection! Spotted this stunning-looking mammal on Waigeo Island. While everyone was enjoying coffee and waiting for fruit-doves, some local kids called us into the forest. We couldn’t really understand what they were saying—but soon enough, this beautiful creature appeared, low and close. What a surprise and such a beautiful moment!

虽然不是新的哺乳动物科,但确实是我们新发现的精彩成员!在Waigeo岛上拍到这只漂亮的哺乳动物。当时大家正一边喝咖啡一边等着果鸠出现,突然有几个当地小孩拉我们进森林,虽然一开始听不太懂他们说什么,但很快这只美丽的动物就低低地靠近了我们。哇,太惊喜了,真是太漂亮的生物!

It’s not a new family or species — I’ve definitely photographed this bird before during a previous visit to the Arfak area. But this time, I got to witness it fighting with a Lophorina superba while trying to attract a female at the “stage.”

这不是新的科或鸟种——之前在阿尔法克地区已经拍过它了。

不过这次亲眼看到它在“舞台”上,为了吸引雌鸟而和华美极乐鸟(Lophorina superba)激烈争斗。

It’s a huge bird with a brightly colored head. I missed it during my last trip, but this time I finally got to see two—moving around almost like pets, even with names! Really happy to finally see this massive and beautiful bird.

这是一只体型很大的鸟,头部颜色非常鲜艳。上次旅行错过了,这次终于看到两只,它们像宠物一样四处走动,还有名字!很高兴终于见到这只又大又漂亮的鸟。
