Beasts of the eastern wild: #02

The Gharial a.k.a long nose croc

Jungle trecking in Nepal is fun. You walk on foot through a jungle where mighty beasts like rihnos, slothbears, crocs and ... the bengal tiger roam around. We were prepared, we had our cameras. You had to hire two guides, so we did. And they had sticks to protect us. We were prepared.

Beasts of the eastern wild: #01 The Lizard

Lizards are awsome. All of them. Some of them look like dinosaurs, but my favourites are the smaller house lizards from India and South east asia. Nothinger better than a lizard which hunts for mosquitos in the beach hut. They are usefull but not as pictureesque as the bigger species. As bigger as better. I´m still dreaming of going to kommodo to see the huge varanids one day and have a few shootings with them, but for now this one has to do it. A random lizard from Aserbaidschan. He was quite big and so i chased him while i visited some, also random, cavepaintings south of Baku. He was not really happy about it and so he looked a bit supicious before he was heading off to hide in a narrow rock crevice.
