I photographed some Asian Mongoose while on vacation in Hawaii on the "Big Island".
They are very fast and will disappear into holes and crevices in the lava rocks if you move, even a little bit.
Kind of like the Pikas do.

The whiskered tern (Chlidonias hybrida) is a tern in the family Laridae. The genus name is from Ancient Greek khelidonios, "swallow-like", from khelidon, "swallow". The specific hybridus is Latin for hybrid; Pallas thought it might be a hybrid of white-winged black tern and common tern, writing "Sterna fissipes [Chlidonias leucopterus] et Hirundine [Sterna hirundo] natam”.
This bird has a number of geographical races, differing mainly in size and minor plumage details.
C. h. hybrida breeds in warmer parts of Europe and the Palearctic (northwestern Africa and central and southern Europe to southeastern Siberia, eastern China and south to Pakistan and northern India). The smaller-billed and darker C. h. delalandii is found in east and south Africa, and the paler C. h. javanicus from Java to Australia.
The tropical forms are resident, but European and Asian birds winter south to Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. A tagged whiskered tern was spotted at Manakudi Bird Sanctuary, Kanniyakumari District of Tamil Nadu, India in the month of April 2021.
This species breeds in colonies on inland marshes, sometimes amongst black-headed gulls, which provide some protection. The scientific name arises from the fact that this, the largest marsh tern, show similarities in appearance to both the white Sterna terns and to black tern.
The size, black cap, strong bill (29–34 mm in males, 25–27 mm and stubbier in females, with a pronounced gonys) and more positive flight recall common or Arctic tern, but the short, forked-looking tail and dark grey breeding plumage above and below are typically marsh tern characteristics. The summer adult has white cheeks and red legs and bill. The crown is flecked with white in the juvenile, and the hindcrown is more uniformly blackish, though in the winter adult this too is flecked with white. The black ear-coverts are joined to the black of the hindcrown, and the space above is mottled with white, causing the black to appear as a C-shaped band. The sides of the neck are white; this sometimes continues across the nape. The collar is less sharply defined. All through the year the rump is pale grey. In the juvenile, the mantle (279 mm) has a variegated pattern. The feathers of the back and scapulars are dark brown, with prominent broad buff edgings and often subterminal buff bars or centers. There is usually an admixture of new gray feathers, especially on the mantle, quite early in the fall. The mantle is silvery-gray in the adult. The call is a characteristic krekk.
In winter, the forehead becomes white and the body plumage a much paler grey. Juvenile whiskered terns have a ginger scaly back, and otherwise look much like winter adults. The first winter plumage is intermediate between juvenile and adult winter, with patchy ginger on the back.
The whiskered tern eats small fish, amphibians, insects and crustaceans.

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.

Banteng - Bos javanicus
Considered the most beautiful species of wild oxen, bantengs are wary in the wild and avoid human settlements.
Both male and female bantengs have white stockings and a white rump with light patches at the muzzle. Females and calves have a short, chestnut coat while the males are almost black in color with a prominent hump abobe the shoulder.
Bantengs prefer to live in the jungles of southeast Asiaand Malaysia in herds of up to 40 individuals.
Though bantengs have been domesticated in some areas of their range, wild bantengs are now endangered due to over-hunting and loss of habitat from human development.
Females give birth to a single calf after 9 month gestation.
Bantengs that live near human settlements have adapted to be more nocturnal. Bulls compete with each other for dominance over female herd.
Bantengs have a life span of up to 25 years. Zoo Miami
The Javan myna, 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 in some of its range.
Scientific name: Acridotheres javanicus
Lesser Adjutant Stork
Once a widespread and common species, the lesser adjutant has undergone a rapid decline in numbers recently, and is now rare throughout its range.
Continuing destruction of wetlands and the felling of trees suitable as nesting sites has resulted in the rapid decline of this species. Foraging areas are being lost to urban and industrial expansion and hunting and capture for the pet trade are contributing to the ongoing population reduction.
Found in India and Southeast Asia, but no longer found in China.
Lesser Adjutant, Leptoptilos javanicus, 110-120 cm / 43.3-47.2 in. VULNERABLE. Widespread resident in lowlands, in marshes, forest pools, flooded fields, lakes and drying-up riverbeds.
Central Range, Kaziranga National Park, Assam Province, India.

[LIFER] 2017
This is by far my "star" find for 2017. I was stunned to find this species in Peninsular Malaysia, at the same time I was mad at myself because I forgot to bring my macro lens (to be honest this was not a herping trip to begin with). God must be playing a huge joke on me or did my luck just ran out? Hence, no close-up shots.
Location: Peninsular Malaysia (after consulting with a few prominent herpetologists, although this is not the first record in Peninsular Malaysia. Nevertheless, I am still very thrill to had found it.
Distribution: Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia (Java, Kalimantan).
Description: The dragon snake is under the monotypic genus Xenodermus which means it is the only species under the genus. There are no other subspecies known to experts. Xenodermus javanicus was first identified in 1836 by a Danish zoologist.
The species scientific name derives from the Greek words "xeno" meaning strange and "derma" meaning skin, referring to their very strange looking skin, at least for a snake. There three rows of large, keeled scales that run down the center of its back, somewhat like the ridge of hair
Also known as the Javan tubercle snake, Javan mud snake, rough-backed litter snake.
Behavior: Known for its “stiff/freeze behavior” in which the snake will stiffen up, almost like a stick, in any given position when touched or startled. Docile species, it did not attempt to attack nor bite.
Max length: 2.5 ft. (this specimen was a very young one, probably less than 1 ft).
From the current known literature, its diet consists of tadpoles, frogs and small fish probably insects and worms too. It probably lay 2-4 eggs in each clutch.

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. 26681

Der Chitwan-Nationalpark (Nepali: चितवन राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्ज, Citvana rāṣṭriya nikuñja) ist ein Nationalpark in Nepal, der 1973 als erster Nationalpark des Landes unter dem Namen Royal Chitwan National Park gegründet wurde.
Er nimmt eine Fläche von 932 km² ein und liegt im Terai, den südlichen Vorbergen des Himalaya. Die südliche Grenze des Nationalparks ist zugleich die Landesgrenze zu Indien. Im Osten schließt sich das Parsa Wildlife Reserve an. Im Norden bildet der Fluss Rapti und im Westen der Fluss Narayani eine natürliche Begrenzung zu besiedelten Gebieten. Zusammen mit dem Parsa Wildlife Reserve und dem in Indien gelegenen Valmiki National Park bildet das Gebiet die über 2000 km² große Tiger Conservation Unit (TCU) Chitwan.
Alljährlich erheben passionierte Vogelschützer landesweit vorkommende Vogelarten. Im Jahr 2006 sind im Chitwan Nationalpark 543 Arten gezählt worden, mehr als in anderen geschützten Gebieten Nepals und etwa zwei Drittel der bedrohten Arten, die im ganzen Land vorkommen. Insbesondere Chitwans Grasland ist bevorzugtes Habitat für die seltenen Barttrappen, Grauhauben-Prinien (Prinia cinereocapilla), Schlankschnabeldrosslinge und Sunda-Marabus. Der weltweit bedrohte Indische Schreiadler (Aquila hastata) brütet im Nationalpark.
