Today I got the opportunity to do so thanks to Ley Kun, the Mama Crab of the Naked Hermit Crabs.
Many animals were out and active today at Chek Jawa.
The first animal we encountered were the Wild boars (Sus scrofa) right at the start of the boardwalk.
The piglets still have their watermelon strips on.

Reason: Because of the Oriental pied-hornbills (Anthracoceros albirostris) that were feeding at a tree above.
Find the hornbill. |

There was a Cuthona nudibranch (Cuthona sibogae).

A pair of otters were spotted on the shore to the right of the pathway leading to "Chek Jawa Rear" beacon. There have been sightings of otters at Chek Jawa and I finally got to see the wild otters at location. Ley Kun and I spent a good 10 minutes admiring them. Many visitors were also delighted to see the otters at that time.
Soon it was time to go and at the hut, we met the wild boars again.
This time the piglets were having their milk break while the older siblings were having a lazy rest.
Milk time! |
Lazing around |
This is THE bumboat queue. |
Hi, the nudibranch is a blue dragon (Pteraeolidia ianthina), not a Cuthona.
