Bali - Animals

I haven't seen any geckos in Taiwan this time, because it's been too cold. Maybe they have all migrated to Bali, because Bali has tons of geckos. This little one, I think is called a cecak. They hang out at the ceiling lights eating insects. Remember, lizards that eat mosquitoes are our friends.

This is a gecko, it actually makes a series of sound at night, "geck-ko". If you hear seven such sounds in a row it is a lucky omen.

There are lots of this fat yellow bellied skink around.

Beetles that look ferocious.

Ants devouring a cacao pod(chocolate). You can see why the pod has to be so tough.

Monkeys, Bali has monkeys. In some places if you don't feed the monkeys they will steal you glasses or jewelry. This one is deciding which half of the coconut to eat first.

This is a "walking stick", something like a praying mantis. Must taste good if it needs this much camouflage.

Where is the insect in this picture? Another tasty morsel.

Even the snails are pretty in Bali.
