The river is flooding at our home base location right now. This happens every year and it's wonderful. Water means life and the abundance of all of this water means we get to see a lot of neat animals and other oddities. The picture below is actually a few pictures stitched together taken from the roof of our hangar showing our office and the other float plane dock. The water is about 8 inches low from coming into the office.
Toads aren't that unusual to what we normally see, but even they are looking for a dry place to hang out right now. You have to be careful where you step right now. There are small critters everywhere as they are driven out by the high water. It's near impossible to keeps the ants at bay as they seek higher ground.
Our Indonesian employees are naturally adept at catching fish. It's not unusual for them to string up a net as they leave work only to check it the following morning when they get back to work and see what they've caught. From time to time they bring up some unusual animals!
I've always liked lizards. This was the first time that I've seen this species around our offices, although I'm sure they have been there all along. But this one, like everyone else, is just trying to find dry ground, of which there isn't much of right now.
Check back in a few days and I'll show you what else has been hanging out around our office.
