Oh Deer!

Menjangan Island is all about curiosity. Last February, friends and I failed to reached the island and it was about time that finally buddies and I made it to its walls (spending only like 5 minutes on the dry land!)

Despite the name (menjangan is deer), I only saw one female. but it's OK. wondered how they arrived there. DM Wayan said, menjangans come to and fro mainland Bali and to the solitary island for they are avid swimmer. they cross the 1 km strait to find food and mates. how cool is that!

The island itself looks like a solid gigantic coral and the vegetation thrives on that solid, white rock. cool!

That Alfred Russell Wallace Moment

Everyone is a scientist in their own right. And when we saw this exotic insect in Tulamben, we admired and immortalized it (not with some chemicals and pin for sure). Just felt that we felt the eureka-moment-of-joy Mr. Wallace had had felt!
