Picture of juvenile of paddy field frog, it can be found at the paddy field, the population of this species is usually exploded in rainy season.

One of the 2 is fake - guess which one.

Solution for all who are still wondering: The plastic rattle snake has been put in the entrance of the camp kitchen as a deterrent against the local troop of Malbrouck Monkeys, which used to raid the stored food, and surprisingly they never ever entered the kitchen since then.

This skink, however, equipped with astounding cognitive abilities, shows off with his balls of steel.

Err, I think it's a female....

Finally, something that gets me excited about Bullfrogs again...

I stopped for a Spring Peeper, and then noticed a yellow object with a red reflection, a ways down the road. I assumed it was some trash, and then realized as I got closer that reflection was an eye shine.

The two foreground fish in this shot are the same species. The rare yellow individual is called a "Queen bee" by locals. Note a second queen bee in the background; I've never seen 2 out of 5 before. Lord Howe Island

This Bump-head Mola was spotted feeding on the surface. There was plenty of food in the water at this time, salps, ctenophores, jelly fish etc. Additional sightings were noted
on this day by other fishermen and water craft, however no identifications received.
