Looks amazing, Ashleigh. Skipping Bali for less frequented islands was a good call!

This sounds like a dream! Loved getting a rundown of all of the cool animals there. Another place to add to the "someday" list. :)

Cameron, I’d never seen one either! There are several species found in Indonesia; this was the Sulawesi bear cuscus.

Hi Jeanine, unfortunately didn’t see any frogs on this trip, but did get to see a spectral tarsier and some tiny sea creatures, including nudibranchs, cuttlefish, octopus, and the mandarin fish! Huge thanks to French photographer Remi for taking the photos of the sea life. 😌

Oh - I thought that beautiful almost bejeweled amphibian? Was a frog.

Ah, I see! The orange and purple animal is the blue-ringed octopus and the last photo is the mandarin fish, which is part of the dragonet family.
