Sulawesi and West Papua, Indonesia, 2024
We flew to Indonesia in May, 2024 to look for mammals, reptiles and birds, visiting two of Indonesia's islands, Sulawesi and West Papua. Our main targets were endemic cuscus, tarsiers and birds-of-paradise. However we saw many bats, rats and reptiles. Many of the photos were taken on night walks. For more information, read our blog at Sulawesi, Bridging the Gap! and Mupi’s Marsupial Mana!
