Day 10 (1/15/2020)

On the tenth day of my trip, this is what we saw:

ONE WATERFALL

We saw amazing structures and trees on the way there, but it was a long and steep trek. And getting back to the van was even more horrible (we had to go DOWN to see the waterfall, so guess what we had to do to go back).

We then went bird watching in a different location, but didn’t see as many birds. Still got some great pics of scenery, though!

This picture is super zoomed in, but we saw a hornbill species, which is difficult to catch on camera! (The black figure with a pale yellow bill)

I forget where we were on our way to, but we saw a wild elephant crossing the road to get to the other side (buh dum, tiss).

We also went to track gibbons, which are adorable lesser apes.

And saw this super cool tree while we were there

Gibbons are known for their song, which they only sing with their mate. They’re monogamous, but don’t typically have life long partners. There is even a folktale based on their song. (video or audio)

Then we learned about figs

And we learned about fig wasps, which I think you should google!

That night, we went spotlighting, which is when you use a giant flashlight to scope out the ‘nightlife of the wildlife.’ Here’s what we saw:

It was pretty amazing to see elephants so active during the night!
I believe this was a moose, which was also cool to see! We didn’t know what kind of animals to expect while we were out there.
