November 11 - viper

After a great 12 days away in Borneo I’m catching up with my holiday shots – all the holiday shots I’ve got to so far are
HERE

Spent the day trekking in the rainforest in Bako National Park.
Saw so many great things it was tough to pick one shot today – this is a pit viper who was sitting on a low branch near the start of the walk , apparently he’d been there a few days and is digesting a big meal (not sure what it was!).

Other highlights were seeing a probiscis monkey (an endangered species – apparently only a couple of thousand are left) HERE and carniverous pitcher plants (they lure in insects and digest them)HERE.

OK I'd be very scared if I met this guy, but I think I'd still be morbidly fascinated too. It's a beautiful colour.
