Fauna: Frogs

by bpacker

Name:Poisonous Rock FrogFamily : RANIDAE ( difficult word for typical frog)Species : Rana hosiiCharacteristics: Green and brown pattern on its body , found near fast-flowing waters and waterfalls.This specimen was found in the root of a tree @ Lubuk Tapah Base Camp, Endau Rompin National Park, about 10m away from the clear, cool river flowing from Takah Tinggi Falls. Before going to Endau Rompin, I never had a keen interest in frogs. In my mind, they were all green and yucky since they ate flies. I changed my mind after photographing them though. I was chilling out with a coffee one night after dinner when some young group members shouted excitedly near the river. I hurried over and and saw it...There it was, a brightly coloured frog and under the torch light, it shone like an emerald in the crevice of a tree! I closed in for a macro shot and showed it to the rest later. After all the...

Fauna: Butterflies and Moths

by bpacker

Ever wondered the difference between moths and butterflies? I thought I knew the difference till I went to Endau Rompin National Park. Despite my belief that Butterflies are brightly-colored and Moths are dull-colored, it looked like the opposite over here. The Moths have bright splotches of blue and gold on their wings and the butterflies were black in colour with simple yellow dots. Guess they're easier to tell apart by looking at their bodies. The moths have plump, furry bodies while their counterparts have smooth bodies.If you identify any of the species over here, pls write to me.

Fauna:Dragonfly

by bpacker

Tyriobapta torridaThere are lots of dragonflies in Endau Rompin National Park. The more common ones were the red dragonflies that flew near the river. But the one that really caught my attention was the blue one with gossamer wings. After I took a macro of it., I discovered that there were gold specks on its wings.

Malaysian MahseerTor tambroides KelahLots of large-scaled fish known as the 'kelah' can be found in Endau Rompin. These buggers are highly prized due to its delicious taste and appearence .

Fauna:Flat-Backed Millipede

by bpacker

Name: Polydesmidae Platyrahchus species (Flat-Backed Millipede)Where: Lubuk Tapah Base Camp, Endau RompinIf you think about it, some millipedes have the look of a prehistoric monster. Just take a look at this armoured critter I saw in Endau Rompin! The squared segments caught my eye and I can't resist taking a macro shot of it. I decided that it was a millipede after zooming into my pictures.The distinctive paired limbs gave it away..Well, you wouldn't think I would put my nose close to this critter would you?

Fauna: Centipede or Millipede?

by bpacker

Name: ? MillipedeWhere: Endau Rompin, Lubuk Tanah Base CampAt the first glance, I thought this was a centipede. It had that look, long and widely-spaced limbs, and a glossy body, fiery-red in colour. I left it well alone, knowing that it had a really nasty bite. It was only after looking at my photograph that I realised it was a millipede. How did I know? The millipede's distinctive paired limbs on each body segment gave away it's indentity!

Fauna: Birds

by bpacker

Magpie RobinCopsychus saularisMurai(Malay)Though the Magpie Robin is nearly extinct in Singapore, many of them can be seen Endau Rompin. I saw it many times while strolling the camp grounds and was surprised to find it quite sociable. These little creatures did not even flinch when I went nearer to take a closer look. And when it lifted its head to sing, I immediately knew what led to the demise in the population*. The song it warbled was melodious and I was entranced for a little while. *Somehow, being friendly and talented in the song department is only good for the Idol competition, sucks if you're a bird!

Fauna:Leaf Frog?

by bpacker

I was just walking around the rivers' edge @ Endau Rompin when I spotted a small brown leaf on a green palm. To my surprise, the 'leaf' stirred and I went in for a macro shot. I still didn't know what it was until I enlarged my picture 48x. It sure looks like a frog doesn't it? I reckon it might be a leaf frog and not a tree frog since there are no disc on its feet..Pls write to me if you know the name of this creature.
