West Papua, Other Wildlife and People

 A few final photos from West Papua with some provisional identifications. 

Tree Frog sp
Asian Toad
Common House Gecko 
Indonesian Brown Rainbow-skink 
Snake-eyed Skink 
Kopstein's Emo Skink 
Asian Forest Skink sp 


A few Dragons (three above) 
Northern Cassowary - unfortunately we didn't get to see one in the wild despite having a reasonable chance but this bird at the Homestay at Nimbokrang was a rescue bird...so half a tick. What an incredible bird, surely the closest living thing to a Maniraptoran  and certainly top of my most wanted list- will just have to return to the region to see one
