Green sea turtle commented on by Tom Maebe Philippines12 years ago

Thanks for the comments...Yet, interesting discussion if it is now a green or a hawksbill and I have to correct myself. It is a green seaturtle. What convinced me is the claws on each flipper. A hawksbill should have 2 on each, and we see here on picture 2 there is only one claw. Sorry for the mistake. Maybe you should correct this spotting, Peter.

Sunda flying lemur commented on by Tom Maebe Sabah, Malaysia12 years ago

I know amigo...it's the popular english naming, I suppose because it looks like a lemur with wings...better call it a Sunda Colugo.

Hey SeanWeekly, if you plan to hit Palawan gimme a sign. I'm living here. I can give you some good tips aside from the obvious promoted spots.

praying mantis commented on by Tom Maebe Philippines12 years ago

I just had a very interesting read about the Praying Mantis, the mantis religiosa in particular...."Sexual cannibalism occurs most often if the female is hungry. But eating the head does causes the body to ejaculate faster."...(yah...)

nice to see how it adapts to the rock formation. I bet your finger was a harder task for him.
