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
