Red-headed Krait (Bungarus flaviceps) one of the highly venomous elapid snake that has awesome striking colouration. Red-headed kraits are nocturnal, semi-aquatic and inhabits rain forests in mountainous and hilly regions.
First time road cruising and our guide Steven spotted this beauty. Honestly, I was fighting not to fall asleep in the car, but that moment and their excitement woke me up. Good memory for our first road cruising :)

Hypselodoris tryoni, a common nudibranch in the West Pacific Ocean and like most nudibranch feed on sponges. Nudibranchs are truly the prettiest gastropods (maybe some bias) and are always intriguing to divers. It was nice to see one and sometimes these nudibranchs are seen on the sponge or hydorid that it is eating. It last dive of that day after all the excitement at Sipadan with Great Hammerhead Shark and deep blue.

Today's Dose of Nature: The Kampong
David Fairchild, the botanist most responsible for introducing mangoes, avocado, navel oranges, quinoa, soybeans, taro, and numerous other things to American agriculture and American diets, spent the latter half of his life in Miami, Florida, in a home that he and his wife Marian (youngest daughter of Alexander Graham Bell) built and named The Kampong. Kampong is the word for a rural household compound in Malaysia or Indonesia, places Fairchild visited often in his search for new commercial crops for western farmers. More about Fairchild at a later date. Alex and I had the opportunity to visit The Kampong this week. A long, skinny property on the shore of Biscayne Bay, filled with exotic plants and home to a variety of wildlife. Here are a few highlights. --Steve
