Taking the otter for a walk

Taking the otter for a walk

This friendly otter came for a walk with us when we went to the proboscis monkey feeding platforms. He walked with us for about 1-2 km and then back. It is amazing how an animal like this can be so domesticated. He did stop for a dip in almost every puddle we passed! By the way, that is me (Richard) with an employee from the reserve - that is not Jo on the right!

A very shy, extremely rare, and seldom sighted. This was a definite highlight of our time in Sungai Kinabatang.

I was ankle deep in mud, trying to take the monitor's photo, and then saw the pigs coming, and had to squish quickly to a good spot without scaring anything away - The monitor blends in a bit too much with the background (like, derrrr, it's supposed to!) but still happy.

This rubbery little guy was actually quite difficult to remove from the torch - he had no desire to leave!
