Habituated but free-ranging monkeys being studied by Kyoto University.
This one was difficult to photograph. It kept jumping up and down the leaves of the jade plant. After this, it officially became my fav spider (also because it is so cute).
This one was hiding in a sock. Imagine the surprise to both the scorpion and me. I was going to throw the sock away when I decided it was better to muster some courage. I bravely (no cowardly) caught it in a glass and released it somewhere dry and rocky.
I have been to a fair. There, I met a few people from 'Le Val Nature park' who were active in promoting the importance of the conservation of endemic bat. What is remarkable is the determination and conviction when one said,
"I have dedicated my whole life to conservation of these species, I won't let the government destroy such species'.
