The Small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus), also known as the Indian Mongoose, Small Indian Mongoose, or the Javan Mongoose, is a species of mongoose found in the wild in South and Southeast Asia. It has also been introduced to various parts of the world.
This little Mongoose reminds me of Buck on the Ice Age movie "Dawn of the Dinosaurs". :-) Just needs a patch over his eye! While "Buck" was supposed to be a Weasel, the Mongoose are very similar. Very quick and they disappear at the slightest movement.
Greater Adjutant, Leptoptilos dubius, 120-150cm / 47-59 in. and Lesser Adjutant, Leptoptilos javanicus, 110-120cm / 43-47 in. GLOBALLY THREATENED storks, the Greater is rarely found outside of Assam. Eats carrion and preys on small animals in marshes, shallow waters, lakes and irrigated agricultural land. Here at the Gorchuk Refuse Dump were about 35 of these storks.

It's hard to get a clear shot of a mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) as they are so wary and shy. This one popped its head up for a second to see if anything was out there. This was seen at a resort near Punaluu Black Sand Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Info: Mongoose are opportunistic feeders that will eat birds, small mammals, reptiles, insects, fruits, and plants. They prey on the eggs and hatchlings of native ground nesting birds and endangered sea turtles. The small Indian mongoose has been blamed with the extinction of ground-nesting birds in Jamaica and Fiji and commonly kill birds, including 8 federally listed endangered Hawaiian birds, such as the Hawaiian crow (‘alalā), petrels (ʻuʻau) and Hawaiian goose (nēnē). It was estimated in 1999 that mongoose cause $50 million in damages to Hawai`i and Puerto Rico annually. > dlnr.hawaii.gov/hisc/info/invasive-species-profiles/mongo...
Hala-Bala,
I figured I would come south where it is safe! The only problem with traveling to the south of Thailand these days is the lack of guest houses.

In this tranquil place on the coast of Lombok Barat by the strait of Wallace Line fame, I woke up from a nap to the almost orange of this blue-tethered cow grazing nearby under a Pandan laut. The human brain is a marvelous thing: immediately sprang to my mind words from great Alfred Russel Wallace's (1823-1913) The Malay Archipelago. In June and July of 1856 that great adventurer and animal collector visited Lombok. The passage I remembered is rather gruesome: 'Returning to Ampenan, I (=Wallace) devoted myself for some days to shooting the birds of the neighborhood. The fine fig-trees of the avenues, where a market was held, were tenanted by superb orioles (Oriolus broderpii [=Oriolus chinensis broderipii, RP) of a rich orange colour, and peculiar to this island and the adjacent ones of Sumbawa and Flores." Today there certainly aren't as many anymore as in Wallace's times...
This wonderful domesticated Bali cow, Bos javanicus, dots the landscapes of Lombok whether in the hills or in the vast reserves of coconut palms along the coast. Indigenous to Bali and Lombok it has for several centuries been a staple of the cattle trade in these parts and across the seas.
Danish Mads Lange (1807-1856), styled the Roi de Bali on account of his great wealth, acquired part of his fortune by butchering cows of this sort on the beaches of Bali, having their flesh dried as ding-ding, and exporting it for the use of Dutch military forces on Java.
Today all was tranquil as I hope it will remain!
On the Rimba at Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands where you can see different kind of animals, such as the Benteng, Muntjac, Laponder and Siamang.
The banteng (Bos javanicus), also known as tembadau, 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.
Muntjacs, also known as Barking Deer and Mastreani Deer, are small deer of the genus Muntiacus. Muntjacs are the oldest known deer, appearing 15–35 million years ago, with remains found in Miocene deposits in France, Germany and Poland.
The present-day species are native to South Asia and can be found in Sri Lanka, Southern China, Taiwan, Japan (Boso Peninsula and Ōshima Island), India and Indonesian islands. They are also found in the lower Himalayas and in Burma.
Another Mongoose showed up and this one bared its teeth at it. There were also a lot of feral cats living in this same area. Mostly they seemed to tolerate each other. There were many openings in the lava rocks and they all seemed to use them.

ETS belongs to the Acrochordidae family which represents a group of primitive non-venomous aquatic snakes (freshwater). The skin is baggy and loose giving the impression that it is too big for the animal. The skin is covered with small rough adjacent scales. The skin is also used in the tannery industry and its leather is called Karung.
ETS are ovoviviparous, the incubation lasts 5-6 months and the female gave birth to around 6-17 young.
Range: Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Bali (Indonesia); in the west coast of Malaysia and also in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Habits: ETS is active at night. It spends most of its life under water and rarely goes on land. It can stay under water up to 40 minutes.
Diet: ETS is an ambush predator that likes to capture fishes and amphibians by folding firmly to the preys' body.

Under grey skies I made my way along the Kerandangan Creek to the black-sandy beach of the Lombok Strait. Few people do that and these Lombok Cows, Bos javanicus, seem to be mildly amused as they lift their heads together from grazing under the Coconut Palms.
Cows can think and they have memory as well. But whether they communicate their 'history' down through the ages seems unlikely. Else these beautiful brown creatures might have feared for their lives from a Westerner like myself. Mads Lange (1807-1856), a Danish trader making good in the East - styled the King of Bali (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/26169373045/in/photoli...) - made his fortune in part by butchering Cows for the Dutch colonial army's so-called 'ding-ding', importing many of them from Lombok (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/14318007974/in/photoli...).
A large stork with a completely bare head and neck ideal for its scavenging habits. The adult’s face is red and the neck is yellow while the juvenile has a brownish head and a white, thinly-feathered neck. The upperparts are all dark while the underparts are mostly white. In flight, note the broad wings with distinctive white “armpits” and tucked in neck. Often found in shallow marshes, fields, and swamps.
The "chick" is begging to be fed. It looks to be almost ready to fledge - its wings are much the same size as the adult's.

Java Myna (Acridotheres javanicus)
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).
The Javan myna has an extremely liquid voice and, like the European starling, incorporates imitation into its repertoire (though it is not able to imitate the human voice, like the hill myna Gracula religiosa).
The Javan myna is predominantly black, with a white vent, a white wing patch, white on the underside of the tail, and has a thick yellow eye ring for grown adults, legs and beak. It sometimes has grey (white) flecking on its belly. It can raise the feathers on its forehead into a dramatic crest.
Like other sturnids it is omnivorous, roosts in colonies and is abundantly successful in a variety of habitats. Javan mynas are as accomplished in cities as they are in padi fields, where they will prey on insects disturbed by water buffalo, often riding the buffalo like the related oxpecker.
It is usually found in southeast Asia.
There is some confusion over naming between A. grandis and A. javanicus, which was until recently considered a subspecies of the pale-bellied myna, A. cinereus. It lays 2-6 eggs. Javan myna can live 8 to 20 years. It eats ants, worms, fruits, human feeds, insects and grains.

These were introduced to Hawaii in 1883 to control rats in the sugar cane fields. Some sources say they did help in that regard; others say the rats are nocturnal and the mongooses diurnal, so it was an epic fail. Either way, the mongooses have decimated native bird populations and also prey on endangered sea turtle eggs.
The lesser adjutant is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. Like other members of its genus, it has a bare neck and head.

Acridotheres javanicus is a medium-sized myna belongs to the family Sturnidae. It is known as the Javan Myna (JM). Compared to other myna species, JM possess black plumage with yellow bill and legs. Its the crest is long and the vent is white (Strange, 2000). JM is an introduces species to south Peninsular Malaysia since 1970s and spreading northward (Jeyarajasingam & Pearson, 2012), and Sarawak since 1980s (Philipps, 2014). It is originates from Java, but currently JM is widespread in South East Asia. Normally, it occurs in open country, parks, garden, orchards, oil palm plantation and the forest edge (Jeyarajasingam & Pearson, 2012). The major threat to JM is the bird trade (IUCN, 2017).

The Javan myna (Acridotheres javanicus), - also known as the white-vented myna and the buffalo myna -, is a member of the Starling family.
TAXONOMY
The Javan myna is sometimes included in the great myna (Acridotheres grandis) or the jungle myna (A. fuscus). The International Ornithologists' Union recommends not using the name "white-vented myna" to avoid confusion. It is conspecific (of, or belonging to, the same species), and thought to be in competition with the Common Myna (A. tristis) in some of its range (e.g. India, Malaysia and Singapore).
DESCRIPTION
The Javan myna is predominantly black. The wings are brownish-black with a white wing patch, and the primaries have white bases. The undertail-coverts are white. It can raise the feathers on its forehead into a dramatic crest. The beak and legs are yellow. The eyes are lemon-yellow with a thick yellow eye ring. It sometimes has grey/ white flecking on its belly. The immature is browner. Its length is 21–23 cm (8.3–9.1 in). Its weight is about 100 g (3.5 oz).
DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT
The Javan myna is native to Java and Bali and has been introduced to southeast Thailand, southern Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, the Lesser Sundas, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, and Japan. The Javan Myna is abundant in a variety of habitats. It is found in cities and cultivated areas. Javan mynas are as accomplished in cities as they are in padi fields, where they will prey on insects disturbed by water buffalo, often riding the buffalo like the related oxpecker. Especially in urban areas, they are considered a pest. They deposit droppings over buildings and even on unsuspecting human beings. Their roost also contaminates the ground below by the droppings. Apart from that, they are a source of noise pollution and are capable of spreading zoonoses. Singapore bans sale of this birds, only when it came from plantations.
BEHAVIOUR
The Javan myna is omnivorous and eats seeds, fruit, nectar, insects and human waste. It is often found in large groups and roosts in colonies. It builds its nest in holes. The eggs are bluish-glaucous. Javan mynas are bold and not very afraid of humans.
CALL / VOCALIZATION
The Javan Myna has an extremely liquid voice and, like the European starling, incorporates imitation into its repertoire (though it is not able to imitate the human voice, like the hill myna (Gracula religiosa)).
