Another nudibranch that I got to add to my species list while I was in Andava. Unfortunately, my flash cable had managed to come unattached on the boat ride out to this dive (our final dive for the expedition) so I wasn’t getting very good…
I got plenty of opportunities to find scorpions in Madagascar… especially when we were doing the Spider Tortoise survey – I think I found maybe six or seven by just turning over dead logs.
I leave on the next round of my travels soon (tomorrow)… I have some posts scheduled, but I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to start posting new stuff so stick with me and hopefully I won’t be radio silent for long. The first…
One of the guides spotted this little guy on one of our park hikes. Very cool gecko.
I forget the name of this village where this was taken… sorry! I am pretty sure that this is from our excursion to go visit the sea cucumber ranch. As was my habit while in Mada, I woke up early to go see the sunrise,…

On the return trip north to Tana, we visited more parks and got to see Golden Bamboo Lemurs…

I’d seen one of these in Wakatobi, so as soon as I saw it, I knew exactly what I was looking at. Unfortunately the camera was acting up and I could not get a good photo of the larger female like I wanted. There were…
One of the invertebrate species we surveyed… this species of sea urchin burrows into crevices in the reef and you only ever see them protruding out of a hole like this.
I spotted these egrets on this fence both times I went to the spiny forest to check out the baobabs. I had wanted to get closer, but I also like this shot with a bit of action going on with these guys chasing each other.…
Sometimes I feel bad not being more specific on the species of critters I am sharing – remember that shrimp goby post from the other day? But sometimes it is really difficult. Case in point, this looks like a fairly distinct nudibranch, but once you…
