SUNDARBANS:
The Sundarbans is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world. The Sunderbans is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, most of which situated in Bangladesh and the remaining in India.
The Sundarbans National Park is a National Park, Tiger Reserve, and a Biosphere Reserve located in the Sundarbans delta in the Indian state of West Bengal. Sundarbans South, East and West are three protected forests in Bangladesh. This region is densely covered by mangrove forests, and is one of the largest reserves for the Bengal tiger.
Geography
The Sundarban forest lies in the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal formed by the super confluence of the Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers across southern Bangladesh. The seasonally flooded Sundarbans freshwater swamp forests lie inland from the mangrove forests on the coastal fringe. The forest covers 10,000 km2. of which about 6,000 are in Bangladesh. It became inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1997. The Sundarbans is estimated to be about 4,110 km², of which about 1,700 km² is occupied by waterbodies in the forms of river, canals and creeks of width varying from a few meters to several kilometres.
Flora
A total 245 genera and 334 plant species were recorded by David Prain in 1903. The Sundarbans flora is characterised by the abundance of sundari (Heritiera fomes), gewa (Excoecaria agallocha), goran (Ceriops decandra) and keora (Sonneratia apetala) all of which occur prominently throughout the area. The characteristic tree of the forest is the sundari (Heritiera littoralis), from which the name of the forest had probably been derived. It yields a hard wood, used for building houses and making boats, furniture and other things. New forest accretions is often conspicuously dominated by keora (Sonneratia apetala) and tidal forests. It is an indicator species for newly accreted mudbanks and is an important species for wildlife, especially spotted deer (Axis axis). There is abundance of dhundul or passur (Xylocarpus granatum) and kankra (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) though distribution is discontinuous. Among palms, Poresia coaractata, Myriostachya wightiana and golpata (Nypa fruticans), and among grasses spear grass (Imperata cylindrica) and khagra (Phragmites karka) are well distributed.
Fauna
The Sundarbans provides a unique ecosystem and a rich wildlife habitat. According to the 2011 tiger census, the Sundarbans have about 270 tigers. Although previous rough estimates had suggested much higher figures close to 300, the 2011 census provided the first ever scientific estimate of tigers from the area. Tiger attacks are frequent in the Sundarbans. Between 100 and 250 people are killed per year.
There is much more wildlife here than just the endangered Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris). Most importantly, mangroves are a transition from the marine to freshwater and terrestrial systems, and provide critical habitat for numerous species of small fish, crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans that adapt to feed and shelter, and reproduce among the tangled mass of roots, known as pneumatophores, which grow upward from the anaerobic mud to get the supply of oxygen. Fishing Cats, Macaques, wild boars, Common Grey Mongooses, Foxes, Jungle Cats,Flying Foxes, Pangolins, and spotted deer are also found in abundance in the Sundarbans.
A 1991 study has revealed that the Bangladeshi part of the Sundarbans supports diverse biological resources including at least 150 species of commercially important fish, 270 species of birds, 42 species of mammals, 35 reptiles and 8 amphibian species.
The Sundarbans is an important wintering area for migrant water birds and is an area suitable for watching and studying avifauna. The management of wildlife is presently restricted to, firstly, the protection of fauna from poaching, and, secondly, designation of some areas as wildlife sanctuaries where no extraction of forest produce is allowed and where the wildlife face few disturbances. Although the fauna of Bangladesh have diminished in recent times and the Sundarbans has not been spared from this decline, the mangrove forest retains several good wildlife habitats and their associated fauna. Of these, the tiger and dolphin are target species for planning wildlife management and tourism development.
Avifauna
The forest is also rich in bird life, with 170 species including the endemic Brown-winged Kingfishers (Pelargopsis amauroptera) and the globally threatened Lesser Adjutants (Leptoptilos javanicus) and Masked Finfoots (Heliopais personata) and birds of prey such as the ospreys (Pandion haliaetus), White-bellied Sea Eagles (Haliaeetus leucogaster) and Grey-headed Fish-eagles (Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus). The Sundarbans was designated a Ramsar siteon 21 May 1992. Some of the more popular birds found in this region are Open Billed Storks, Black-headed Ibis,Water Hens, Coots, Pheasant-tailed Jacanas, Pariah Kites, Brahminy Kites, Marsh Harriers, Swamp Partridges, Red Junglefowls, Spotted Doves, Common Mynahs, Jungle Crows, Jungle Babblers, Cotton Teals, Herring Gulls, Caspian Terns, Gray Herons, Brahminy Ducks, Spot-billed Pelicans, great Egrets, Night Herons, Common Snipes, Wood Sandpipers, Green pigeons, Rose Ringed Parakeets, Paradise Flycatchers, Cormorants, White-bellied Sea Eagles,Seagulls, Common Kingfishers, Peregrine falcons, Woodpeckers, Whimbrels, Black-tailed Godwits, Little Stints,Eastern knots, Curlews, Golden Plovers, Pintails, White eyed pochards and Lesser Whistling Ducks.

Banteng (Bos javanicus)
Banteng are social creatures, spending most of their time in herds of two to 40 animals , which are usually led by an older cow and accompanied by a single mature male . Other males live alone or in bachelor groups . While this species may be active during the day or night, the herds have adopted a nocturnal lifestyle in areas of heavy human encroachment . Banteng feed mainly on grasses, bamboo, leaves, fruits and young branches of woody shrubs, depending upon the season and availability.
The single male of the herd reproduces with all the females, and competition for dominance of a herd is therefore fierce. Although capable of breeding all year round in captivity, wild banteng in Thailand are known to mate only during the months of May and June. Single offspring are born after a gestation period of 285 days. Weaning occurs at six to nine months, and sexual maturity is reached at two to three years. Banteng have been recorded to live up to 20 years in the wild and to over 26 years in captivity

Unfortunately this bird will never win any prizes in a beauty contest. Despite it's appearnce it only rarely scavenges unlike it's cousin the Greater Adjutant. This bird was photographed in Tadoba Tiger Reserve.
在印度兩度遇見阿獴，一次是在大名鼎鼎的泰姬瑪哈園區內，另一次是在新德里街頭. 在印度與巴基斯坦有兩種比較常見的獴類：Indian gray mongoose or common grey mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii) 與small Asian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) 後者體型小的多，而且相當適應人為棲地，從這兩者研判我碰到的應該是後者機會大的多.
Small Asian mongoose是很有名的外來種案例，當初為了控制當地屬類數量被引入許多小島如夏威夷及沖繩等，不過沒有達成目標反而造成當地原生種的滅絕特別是鳥類

Banded Broadbill
The banded broadbill (Eurylaimus javanicus) is a species of bird in the Eurylaimidae family. It is found in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is a large broadbill (21.5–23 cm), with purple, yellow and black plumage. It eats predominantly insects, including grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, various beetles, caterpillars and larvae.
Status: Near Threatened
Murena Gigante (gimnoforax javanicus)
il corpo dalla forma cilindrica allungata è robusto, piuttosto alto sul tronco, con una pelle priva di squame e liscia. Le pinne natatorie sono prive di spine e le dorsali, caudali ed anali, si congiungono a formare una natatoria unica sul retro del corpo. Il capo è molto sviluppato, con muso breve ed opercoli molto evidenti, bocca ampia con denti affilati dalla forma ad uncino. La colorazione varia dal bruno pallido al bruno scuro e maculato. Misurano dai 40 cm. ai 3 Mt. di lunghezza.
vive negli anfratti del reef, grotte e fessure nella roccia rappresentano il loro rifugio ideale durante il giorno, mentre di notte, per cibarsi, si spostano nelle regioni mediamente profonde del reef, tra i -5 Mt. ed i -50 Mt..
sono predatori voraci che trascorrono la maggior parte della loro vita in tana, dove si rifugiano quando si sentono in pericolo e ne escono per catturare la loro preda all'improvviso. Nelle ore notturne si possono anche allontanare dalla tana per cacciare. Con i denti ad uncino e le potenti mascelle possono mordere in profondità: il morso non è velenoso, ma la presa è tenace.
generalmente sono inoffensive verso l'uomo a meno di non essere disturbate e molestate: la posizione a fauci spalancate non è offensiva, ma serve a mantenere una corrente respiratoria attraverso bocca e branchie.

The Lesser Adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. Like other members of its genus, it has a bare neck and head. It is however more closely associated with wetland habitats where it is solitary and is less likely to scavenge than the related Greater Adjutant. It is a widespread species found from India through Southeast Asia to Java.
