Ahead of the first trip, I wasn’t thinking much about mammals, and yet, you cannot miss them, from Nilgais near villages to Indian Flying Foxes in town centres, not to mention those ubiquitous and irresistibly cute Palm Squirrels eating seeds left for parakeets. I clearly needed a mammal book. monkeys, deer, gazelles, etc.).

The site is famous for a place called Monkey Mia, where dolphins have learnt to come up to the beach a few times a day to get snacks. Cruises are available to go out and spot them, and we took one and after twenty five years of trying to see one of these odd sea mammals we finally did, and actually saw a mother and calf to boot!

In other words, you can’t say something like, “humans, gorillas, chimps, and bonobos are all in the same family and equally related to each other.” For example, it would make a huge amount of sense for suspensory feeding monkeys to have six, not four, limbs. Monkey is a common, not scientific, term.

If we assume (probably incorrectly) that of apes and monkeys, they all descended from a monkey like ancestor, than apes are monkeys.

Like many of the largest species within bird families, the Great Parrotbill looks somewhat plain, at least in the weather I encountered it. Finally, getting to the slightly annoying but somehow obligatory mention of mammals seen at Longcanggou. Among all mammals, I think I like monkeys the least.

Tropical birding demands tropical birds, those families and genera unique to their latitudes rather than shared via migration across various climate zones. But these tropical ecosystems also harbor families that remind us by their very presence just how close we’ve come to the Equator and how far we are from the poles.

Taking advantage of my son, Desmond, having this past Friday off from school our small family decided to do a three-day trip somewhere. Eventually, around midafternoon, the rain slowed down to the point where it was hardly even coming down and the family took a nature walk. Not a bad mammal list for a weekend at a resort.
