Thar be dragons! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Adora Thar be dragons! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Adorable tiny dragons. Spearpoint leaf-tailed geckos (Uroplatus ebenaui) are the smallest species in their group only growing up to 4inches. If you can find them (notoriously hard, thanks @michelstrongoff) they will most likely be in the forest only in Nosy Be and the most North-Eastern part of Madagascar. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They also change colour between the day and night to blend in better with their surroundings - see the difference in the photos - I did not mess with the colours, first three daytime, last one nighttime. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #madagascar #mada #madagascartravel #madagascarwildlife #gecko #geckos #geckolove #geckosofinstagram #geckomadagascar #reptiles #reptile #reptileoftheday #reptiles_of_instagram #reptileaddict #junglephotography #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nosybe #macrophotographylove #lizardphotography #lumix #olympusphotography #microfourthirdsphotography #gx1 #naturephotographers @my_madagascar @madagascarlandscape

As if echidna's couldn't get anymore adorable, I j As if echidna's couldn't get anymore adorable, I just found out their babies are called 'puggles' when they hatch. Yes, they hatch, echidna's along with platypus are part of the monotreme order - the only egg laying mammals in the word. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Australia, you have the best and weirdest animals.

Happy world frog day! I shall jump on the bandwago Happy world frog day! I shall jump on the bandwagon... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The interweb tells me there are 311 identified species of frogs in Madagascar. This includes a small group called the Mantella more commonly known as golden frogs or Malagasy poison frogs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This little dude is a bronze/brown mantella. There is a 20c Euro coin in the second frame for scale (that's 2.2cm!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #madagascar #mada #madagascartravel #madagascarwildlife #junglephotography #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nosybe #macrophotographylove #lumix #olympusphotography #microfourthirdsphotography #gx1 #naturephotographers #poisonfrog #goldenfrog #froglove #frogfriday #frogphotography #froglife #froggo #internationalfrogday #amphibiansofig #amphibianfoundation
Latte sea puppy coming in for a full on nose boop! Latte sea puppy coming in for a full on nose boop! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Australian sea lions only live in Western and Southern Australia. They are the RAREST sea lion species in the world with only 10-12,000 individuals estimated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They have a pretty broad diet including crustaceans, cephalopods, fish and even birds!? They can dive up to 300m apparently, but from my experience like to nap and sunbathe (haul out) a LOT. #australia #westernaustralia #sealion #sealions #sealionpup #australiansealion #noseboop #seapuppy #olympusem1 #nauticam #pinniped #pinnipedsofinstagram #wildlifeig #marinephotography #underwaterphotography @turquoisesafaris

Australian sea flap-flaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Each manta has a unique spot pattern on their belly so we can identify them.
