a Juvenile Wagler’s pit viper show up it’s tongue … don;t get too close …..
this was the most dangerous or scary moment when I monitor and the snake just move down and show us the tongue …. i was shock that moment when it coming down …
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)
my long plan East Malaysia wildlifes, macro etc trip to Bako/Kubah National Park locate at Kuching, Sarawak .
thanks Andy Paul, Maureen, Andy Teo, Michael Wong, Simon Rex, CM Chong, Nizam (thanks for the local arrangement) etc to make this fanstatic trip for me …
Bako National Park, from Kuching airport can take taxi, bus to Kampung Bako Jetty (about 30 minutes) and a boat ride (can arrange near jetty and the rate is fix ~RM90 return)..
within the National Park, you are near to a beach with beautiful Sunset direction (will share some pictures later) .. most of the track need bit walk, night walk is a must to see wild lifes, insect etc … but take extra note as saw many pit viper (saw ~4-5 Wagler’s pit viper for 3 days)… will slow update with pictures
****best prawn ever ..we bought alive prawn from the fisherman while we met them on ocean and immediate back to canteen to boil it …

Beautiful View near Bako National Park Jetty (update 24 Sept 2012)
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 …
a beautiful bird .. and it love to stand on the banana flower … and these pictures were capture from 2009, 2010 & 2012 … (ohh .. I missed out 2011 …) and if someone ask me will I go back to the same place next year for the same bird + flower …. my answer is YES 😀
as a father, I love my daughter and my family … and I found bird do the samething too .. they love and trying to protect their chick .. stay near by from day to night for weeks, get extra attention while some animal get close (e.g. monkey, crows) …. they look for foods … etc
brought my daughter and wife for quick birding .. and found this owl stand far up ….. but we still able to see it .. and while we finger point to her (to show my daughter) .. it keep look at us …
