a new collection of small mammal

1. Lesser Ranee Mouse, Haeromys pusillus, Haeromys sp

– a small and long tail mice, it can be Ranee which may not able to tell. But this is really long tail with really small body length

(still will checking the ID)

– 非常小,长尾巴。可能是Haeromys minahassae。可是几个前辈讲到,这很小+尾巴长。应该是Haeromys pusillus。

(还是回继续查)

***not an expert still trying my best to ID this one ..

***还在学习看老鼠

the power of CANON R3 …

– we were looking at another flying squirrel flying like other tourist 10-20 minutes ago and while walking to the jungle for other subject. We saw some movement from far up and Nature guide point the “small torch” toward to the subject and shout “flying” .. what I did just point my camera to the sky and again #CANONR3 just lock focus and track the subject .. the picture may not best quality as it is shooting ISO16000 and picture is heavy under exposure.

(we don’t know flying behaviors before capture like nesting or some feeding spot)

– 我们刚看完大鼯鼠飞下。就向森林走去,我们的向导喊“飞”。没时间想,我立刻相机对上。对焦完全锁定,追焦几乎没错过。虽然画质一般,ISO16000 还要很暗(后期加光)。可是还是可以看到佳能R3的对焦+追焦的恐怖。(这个不是陷阱对焦是突然飞出来)
