On the quest for the Lunaticus

And so the search for that most exotic, elusive of species, Channonus Lunaticus, continues. Fresh droppings found in a recent email led us to believe that he'd be present in the sleepy little Balinese port town of Padangbai. Alas, we arrive to find excellent Davie habitat but no evidence of any specimen fitting his description.

He's clearly a flitting, restlessly migratory type, rather hard to pin down. This is odd, as reports suggest that in the wild he can become, well, rather wild, and is thus quite easy to spot.

So tomorrow the hunt shall move on to the island of Gili Trawangan, just off Lombok. The vegetation type here is reportedly perfect for the Davie, so we may then finally be able to log him in our species list.




And then we're gonna bury the bastard headfirst in the sand.
