You can replicate these experiences by looking an (obviously) inert grey cuddly toy and an empty enclosure next time you visit your local zoo.
1.Clouded leopards 2.Any member of Panthera Pardus 3.King Cobra 4.Black Caiman 5. Gharial 6.Black Mamba 7. Inland Taipan 8. Puma 9. Western Diamondback rattlesnake 10. Mugger crocodile 11. Cuban Crocodile 12. Sumatran Rhino 13. Emperor Penguin
Here are some of mine! - Sumatran Orangutan - Stump-Tailed Macaque - Indian Rhino - Amur Leopard - Giant Panda - Chinese Pangolin - Chinese Alligator - Lar Gibbon - Sloth Bear - Saola - These are just a few. A trip to Monkey World aught to tick off the Orangutan, Lar Gibbon and Macaque. The Chinese Alligator can be done in Crocodiles of the World. I believe the Saola will be near impossible though
Mine would be: -Red-Shanked Douc Langur -Marsh Mongoose -Black-Winged Myna -Kiwi (See one with my own eyes rather than through a web-cam at Paignton) -Three-Toed Sloth -Javan and Sumatran Rhino -Mountain Gorilla -Eastern Lowland Gorilla -Nigeria-Cameroon Chimp -Giant Armadillo -Amazon River Dolphin -American Crocodile -Gharial -Vampire Bat -Great White Shark -Scalloped Hammerhead Shark -Whale Shark
I haven't posted a list on here yet, so... Tonkin snub-nosed monkey Marsupial mole Laotian rock rat Giant armadillo Silky anteater Woolly giant flying squirrel Narwhal Yapok Hoatzin Wattled ploughbill Resplendant quetzal Night parrot Turtle frog Goliath frog Lake Titicaca frog Hairy frog Goblin shark Megamouth That's just a few of them. There are a lot of species which I'd like to see wild but have already seen captive, like pangolins or moloch or Picathartes, so I've discounted them from the list. And lots of cool species I've seen wild so there's no point saying I'd like to see them captive.
I went to Australia a few years ago and saw quite a few reptiles.Thorny devils,carpet pythons and a two captive saltwater crocodiles made for quite a trip.
but presumably the same one "every 2-3 days", given that your Big Year list only has you on eight species I think it goes without saying, too, that Queensland is a vastly different field than the UK...
Yes, mainly the same species, however several species (all Skinks) remain unidentified. However it's been winter most of the year, so I am bound to get more species when September comes. @Komodo99 Did you see the Thorny Devil in the wild?
um, I'm not a meteorologist or anything, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been winter for most of the year, considering it is only June now...
without having been there to see what you saw, that seems quite unlikely. There is a (semi-) resident group of bottlenose dolphins around the area though which are frequently seen.
The trip was about nine years ago though, I don't remember everything and it is possible that at the time a pod of spinners could have moved in.
My bucket list is currently burried somewhere under under my bed along with miscellenious animal doodles and missing socks. I shall try and dig it out soon so I can post it on this thread.
