Die Krontaube besiedelt ausschließlich Inseln im Nordwesten von Neuguinea sowie die Halbinsel Vogelkop. Zu den besiedelten Inseln gehören Waigeo, die größte der vier Hauptinseln des Archipels von Raja Ampat vor der Küste Westneuguineas (Indonesien) sowie die etwas kleinere Insel Misool, die ebenfalls zu diesem Archipel zählt. Sie kommt auch auf der Insel Seram vor, der zweitgrößten Insel im Archipel der Molukken. Sie ist dort jedoch mit großer Sicherheit eingeführt worden.[

The green tree python (Morelia viridis) is one of Papua New Guinea's most well known of snake species. Its range also extends to the western half of New Guinea, nearby Indonesian islands, and parts of Australia's Cape York Peninsula. It can be found in a variety of habitats including dry forest, swamp forest and cultivated areas, from sea level to 1,800 m elevation.
The green tree python is characterized by a relatively slim body. The species usually reaches a total length of 150-180 cm, but large females may reach 200 cm. The size also varies depending on the region of origin. Males can weigh about 1100-1400 g, females up to 1,600-1.800 g. Generally, they are a vibrant green in color but some adults are blue or yellow. They have a series of white or blue dorsal and/or lateral spots evident in most.
The diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles and small birds.
De groene boompython (Morelia viridis) is een middelgrote slang uit de familie pythons (Pythonidae) die maximaal ongeveer 2 meter lang kan worden maar meestal kleiner blijft (circa 140 à 160 cm). De lichaamskleur is groen met gele of blauwe strepen en gele of witte vlekken. Mannetjes en vrouwtjes zijn lastig uit elkaar te houden. Vrouwtjes worden vaak wel langer.
De groene boompython komt voor in zuidoostelijk Azië; op en rond het eiland Nieuw-Guinea en de eilanden rond Nieuw-Guinea. Tenslotte in Australië in het noordelijkste puntje van de staat Queensland, genaamd Kaap York. De groene boompython leeft in tropische, warme en vochtige regenwouden die dichtbegroeid zijn. Het is een typische boombewoner die zelden de bodem betreedt. De groene boompython is te vinden van laaglanden tot een hoogte van 2000 meter boven
Door het gespierde lichaam, behendige grijpstaart en lange tanden is de python gespecialiseerd om vanuit een tak snel uit te halen naar een prooi. Hierbij wordt de staartpunt gebruikt als lokaas. Deze wordt heen- en weer gekronkeld waardoor prooien, als kleine zoogdieren, soms reptielen en kleine vogels, worden aangetrokken, en als ze dicht genoeg genaderd zijn slaat de slang bliksemsnel toe. De python is niet giftig en doodt zijn prooi door wurging.
Deze opname is gemaakt in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem.

"The sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is a relatively large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia and New Guinea and some of the islands of Indonesia. They can be locally very numerous, leading to them sometimes being considered pests. They are well known in aviculture, although they can be demanding pets In Australia, sulphur-crested cockatoos can be found widely in the north and east, ranging from the Kimberley to as far south as Tasmania, but avoiding arid inland areas with few trees. They are numerous in suburban habitats in cities such as Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane. Except for highland areas, they occur throughout most of New Guinea and on nearby smaller islands such as Waigeo, Misool and Aru, and various islands in the Cenderawasih Bay and Milne Bay.."

Raja Ampat Feb 2017:
Located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia's West Papua province, Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau. Raja Ampat archipelago is the part of Coral Triangle which contains the richest marine biodiversity on earth.
It was my second journey to Raja Ampat and this year I choose to visit the more remote north. Today was my last day at the island and the light and weather were so clear and bright...Great views around my homestay Beser Bay on the mysterious Island of Gam

It was my second journey to Raja Ampat and this year I choose to visit the more remote north. After being picked up by the local people of the island from Waisai, we spend three and a half hour to reach my homestay. It was an amazing journey. The colors changed at sunset and the water flat and calm became like a mirror. Fish jumping and flying out of the water while the island Manyaifun was appearing on the horizon...
