The lesser adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae.
One of the main attraction of Parit Jawa, especially during the October-March migration season, is the birdlife.
Though there is a regular traffic of fishing boats winding its way through the muddy channels, and though there are local people going about their business near the jetty the bird fauna seems unperturbed.
The most noticeable of the birds are the Lesser Adjutants, by sheer virtue of their size. Standing at 120 cm tall, with a white body and black wings this species is unmistakable. Comically, its head is virtually bald, apart from a sparse covering of fine hair-like feathers.
Finally I managed a clear photo of this rare endemic species. I found this elusive nocturnal snake two days ago during my Borneo trip.
Location: Sarawak, Borneo.
Distribution: Malay Peninsula (Malaysia, Thailand, and one old record from the southernmost tip of Myanmar) and parts of the Greater Sunda Islands (Sumatra, Java, and Borneo, as well as some smaller islands).

Reproduction: Egg layer however this species is known to have low fecundity (2–4 eggs).
Also known as Javan tubercle snake, Javan mudsnake, or rough-backed litter snake.
X. javanicus is a small non-venomous, semi-fossorial snake species belonging to the monotypic genus Xenodermus.
This species is best known for their characteristic dorsal scales and interesting defense mechanism in which they stiffen their entire bodies when threatened.

The banteng also known as tembadau, (Bos javanicus) is a species of wild cattle found in Southeast Asia. Banteng have been domesticated in several places in Southeast Asia, and there are around 1.5 million domestic banteng, which are called Bali cattle. These animals are used as working animals and for their meat. Banteng have also been introduced to Northern Australia, where they have established stable feral populations. The banteng is similar in size to domesticated cattle, measuring 1.55 to 1.65 m tall at the shoulder and 2.45–3.5 m in total length, including a tail 60 cm long. Body weight can range from 400 to 900 kg. It exhibits sexual dimorphism, allowing the sexes to be readily distinguished by colour and size. In mature males, the short-haired coat is blue-black or dark chestnut in colour, while in females and young it is chestnut with a dark dorsal stripe. Both males and females have white stockings on their lower legs, a white rump, a white muzzle, and white spots above the eyes. The build is similar to that of domesticated cattle, but with a comparatively slender neck and small head, and a ridge on the back above the shoulders. The horns of females are short and tightly curved, pointing inward at the tips, while those of males arc upwards, growing 60 to 75 cm long, and being connected by a horn-like bald patch on the forehead. Banteng live in sparse forest where they feed on grasses, bamboo, fruit, leaves, and young branches. 26683

Mongoose Monday - Mongooses are invasive but fairly common throughout Hawaii. They were brought in to control the rat population by sugar farmers. Unfortunately mongooses are diurnal while rats are nocturnal so the idea was a bust.

I first saw this species perched at the tops of trees, often at extreme distance for worthwhile photographs. Luckily, this bird was standing on grassland, at the edge of the jungle, in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka. It was good enough to puff itself up and and utter a loud cry while I was watching. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
A mongoose attentively inspects around its burrow before crossing a clearing into the heavy brush on the opposite side. They sometimes chitter an alarm to other mongooses. The small Asian mongoose or Javan mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) was introduced to sugar plantations in the Caribbean in 1872 and in Hawaii in 1883 with the intent of reducing the rat population. Many consider them cute, but with no natural predators in Hawaii, they are invasive and detrimental for native species, especially ground nesting birds. Venerated or reviled, they have a long history in literature and mythology.

This was probably my favorite of the shots I took of the Mongoose while I was on the "Big Island". My son and myself stayed at the Waikoloa Hilton. The place is huge. It covers 63 acres. It was a one mile walk from our room to the car park. Stacy, has an app on his iPhone that was tracking us where ever we went. We averaged 8-10 miles of walking a day. I know one day it was well over 12 miles. Always, had my camera with me. Like a barbell! ;-) Weighs 8 pounds! Gave me a good workout. We did several trips to Hilo. Stacy did a lot of snorkeling. After seeing the pictures Stacy posted on FaceBook, my oldest son Scott, booked 8 days there next April for him and his family and Jan is looking going there next spring.
I think there are more flowers in April/May. But, I still found lots to take pictures of.
Mongoose move like greased lighting and often run when you are still 75-100 feet away. But, I had learned a lot on my April trip and it made it a little easier getting some shots this trip. They forage for grubs in the lawns. The lawns there are very thick & plush. Feels like you are walking on very thick carpet.
Lots of Sea Turtles in the lagoon there. I saw 8 in one morning.

In the ongoing story of what is happening in my life here is an update.
Before I was hit with the Sepsis infection, gone Septic, I had planned a vacation to the “Big Island”.
Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency.
I had to cancel my vacation when Covid hit. So, I was determined not to miss going this time. 10 days of antibiotics, lots to rest and while still feeling pretty weak, I figured I could handle it. But, that 9 hours on the plane really kicked my butt. I slept for over 12 hours after I got there. I would go to sleep at 5pm each night and get up at 5am. Then when I tried to eat I would get nauseous. So, I didn’t eat for about 4 days except for yogurt and electrolytes. Back home, Jan, was having a fit because I wasn’t eating. I would go out in the morning for 3-4 hours and then come back to my room, lay down and sleep. I was pretty much as weak as a kitten. Still, am for that matter.
After, getting back home the infection again reared its ugly head. I ended up in the Emergency Room again, after yet another 911 call.
Funny, on the way to the hospital, there was a huge bang that shook the ambulance. The paramedic lunged across me and I thought we had been hit by another vehicle. As it turned out, the side door on the ambulance some how came open as we were going around a curve and slammed against the ambulances side. I tried to laugh it off, but, the paramedic didn’t see the humor, when I mentioned that if I had popped out of the ambulance riding a gurney down a slippery icy road that would have been quite a tale to tell.
Once in the ER, I was set up with an IV in each arm and they injected some heavy duty antibiotics into both IV’s.
The doctor said, the infection had come back. I guess the first round of antibiotics didn’t kill all of it.
I was also tested for Covid and wouldn’t you know it, I tested Positive.
What they say about your taste being off with Covid is definitely true. I start to eat and about half way through my meal I get nauseous.
10 more days on antibiotics. Hopefully, they get rid of all of the infection this time.
I am feeling better. But, I still don’t have any energy. Haven’t been out with the camera since getting home.
So, I as I have said before, “This To Shall Pass”!
Soon I hope! :-)
Any and all prayers are very much appreciated.

This species can be found in large numbers almost everywhere in Southeast Asia. Like other Mynas it is omnivorous, roosts in colonies and is abundantly successful in a variety of habitats. They are as accomplished in cities as they are in countrysides. It eats ants, worms, fruits, human feeds leftovers, insects and grains.
Ia berbeza dengan Gembala Kerbau pada warnanya yang lebih hitam dan jambul di kepalanya. Burung ini adalah antara yang telah beradaptasi dengan baik dalam persekitaran manusia, boleh di dapati di mana-mana samada di bandar mahupun di kawasan kampung.

The thick, short body fur of Slow Loris varies between species and may be grey, buff, brown or orange. They have short tails of around 1 or 2 cm in length.
There are now at least eight that are considered valid:
Sunda slow loris (N. coucang),
Bengal slow loris (N. bengalensis),
Pygmy slow loris (N. pygmaeus),
Javan slow loris (N. javanicus),
Philippine slow loris (N. menagensis),
Bangka slow loris (N. bancanus),
Bornean slow loris (N. borneanus), and
Kayan River slow loris (N. kayan).
Medical significance facts:
Slow loris are known for their venomous bite and are the only venomous primates. The toxin is obtained by licking
its glands on their arm/elbow, and the secretion is activated by mixing with saliva. According to a study, their toxic bite is meant for self-defense from would-be predators, and the toxin is also applied to their fur during grooming as a form of protection for their infants.
To date, there have been two published cases of slow loris bite in humans. This case report illustrates a case of anaphylactic shock following a bite of a wild Kayan slow loris (Nycticebus kayan) to a young man at Mulu District, in a remote area of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. The patient developed dyspnoea (feeling of suffocation, swollen lips and cramp-like sensations over both hands). He subsequently developed syncope (fainting or passing out) and hypotension. The patient was clinically stable following intramuscular injection of adrenaline 0.5 mg stat dose (Utap et al., 2019) europepmc.org/article/med/31421666

This small, nonvenomous snake isn't colorful, but it's one of my favorite reptiles I've been lucky enough to see in the wild -- in this case, twice. The unusual-for-a-snake raised scales make the common name obvious. It's the only species in its genus. (Xenodermus javanicus)
Endangered species. Lifespan is up tp 20 yrs. Height: 5 ft.-5.4 ft. (1.55m-1.65 m). Weight: 1,102lb.-1,760lb. (500-800kg). Habitat: forests
Location: Peninsular Malaysia
They are solitary except during the breeding season when they form loose colonies, never exceeding 20 nests in a single colony.
Diet: Mainly fish, frogs, reptiles, large invertebrates, rodents, small mammals and rarely carrion
Javan Myna (Acridotheres javanicus), Luzhou, Taipei, Taiwan
The Javan myna (Acridotheres javanicus), also known as the white-vented myna and the buffalo myna, is a myna, a member of the Starling family. It is primarily found in Java.
It is conspecific, and thought to be in competition with the common myna (A. tristis) in some of its range (for example, Malaysia and Singapore).
