Ahaetulla nasuta

#Ahatulla or the Sri Lankan Green Vine #Snake 🐍 is an endemic mildly venomous arboreal snake species that hunts utilizing it's #camouflage to hide and binocular vision to attack, judging the distance to it's prey precisely.
.
In this case, the victim was a Calotes #Lizard 🦎
.
#Hunts and action like this are often encountered on #bushwalks around the camp rather than on #jeepsafaris

Mihintale Wildlife Sanctuary - Quite possibly the

Mihintale Wildlife Sanctuary - Quite possibly the first wildlife sanctuary ever declared in the world during the 3rd Century BC on a Poson (June) Full Moon 🌝 Poya Day!
.
The ruling King Devanampiyatissa happened to be on deer hunting 🦌🏹when he encountered the enlightened monks, who then preached the Buddhist doctrine to King Devanampiyatissa.☸️
.
Mihintale was legally gazetted as a Wildlife sanctuary in 1938.

Nevertheless, according to the chronicles of Mahawansa and some stone inscriptions found in the area; once King Devanampiyatissa understood the Buddhist philosophy, he realized all animals have the right to live freely in their habitat.
.
Hence, he banned hunting animals in the area of Mihintale and Mahamewuna gardens in Anuradhapura by making it the world's first wildlife sanctuary.

Udawalawe #nationalpark, only 75 mins drive from t

Udawalawe #nationalpark, only 75 mins drive from the camp is possibly the best place to see #wildelephants in such numbers in the southern region.

#Udawalwe also falls under multiple climate zones throughout the park, changing the vegetation and habitats completely different in the northern parts in comparison to the mostly visited grassland routes around the southern main gate and the reservoir.

Apart from 100s of elephants, Udawalawe is one of the best possible places to see #junglecats on #safaris and even topping off with an occasional #leopard sighting.

Bundala National Park
.
About 45mins drive from @campleopardyala is one of the bio diversity richest places in Sri Lanka specially with avian fauna 🐦🦅🦆🐓 and home for the largest reptiles living on earth, the salt water crocodiles 🐊.
.
First wetland in Sri Lanka to be declared as a #Ramsar site and the 4th to be a #UNESCO #BioSphere in the island.
.
Over 200 different species of birds can be found in the park and the best times to visit would be the winter months as this attracts many migratory wading birds to the lagoons and salterns inside the park making it one of the top hotspots for bird watching.
.
Wanna learn more? Join us on a guided drive to Bundala with our private #SafariRangers to explore this natural beauty during your #Yala #Safari #Glamping tour.

Are those Blue Birds Really Blue? NO! . Would you

Are those Blue Birds Really Blue? NO!
.
Would you believe almost no animals on earth has Blue pigmentation and The Blue we see on them is rather an optical illusion? (Well except for one particular butterfly species - read about it on go.campleopard.com/true-blue)
.
Yes including your favorite king fishers and peacocks
.
Birds have tiny microscopic structures on their feathers that the light goes thru a series of reflections in which only the blue color wavelength is escaped while the other wavelengths are canceled out.
.
Think of the scenarios of how a prism would split the natural light into different wavelengths to separate and the process of a noise cancellation headphone.
.

How to avoid trouble with Wildlife on the Roadside

How to avoid trouble with Wildlife on the Roadside when you Travel in Sri Lanka.
.
.
Following up the incident of elephant attacking a car with 2 tourists driving on the main road yesterday, while another group of social media accounts putting videos of wild elephants being fed and approached on foot, we thought of putting together few travel tips on the subject.
.
.
Some of main roads in Sri Lanka run thru Protected or Unprotected Areas rich in Wildlife. Therefore;
.
.
👉Please DO NOT approach them on foot/scooters/tuks or by your vehicle 🛵🛺🚶
.
👉Avoid driving thru such roads at night 🌌 and in smaller vehicles.
.
👉If any animals are crossing the road or trying to cross the road give them enough space/distance and let them pass first! 🐘🐆🦚
.
👉DO NOT Speed/Stop next to them/Throw food or anything else at them 🚫🚗🍌🍍🧨
.
👉DO NOT Keep open food that gives away smell to attract them 🍉🍌🐽
.
👉YOU DO NOT NEED TO FEED ROADSIDE ROUGH ELEPHANTS TO GET A 'PASS' FROM THEM!
You can simply just drive thru without stopping for them, and they will make way for you. 🐘🚫🍉
.
👉If you are in a Scooter/Tuk/Bicycle it's always recommended to pass the wild animals shadowing a bigger vehicle that passed by. 🛺🛵🚲 ➡️👥🚚
.
‼️NOTE:
Professional Safari Vehicles and Operators approaching animals (within their comfort zone ofcourse) do not carry open food that attract such animals and ALWAYS APPROACH ONLY based on the body language of such animals (inside national parks as well as on the Roadside) assessed by professional and Experienced Drivers, Rangers and Trackers ensuring neither animals nor guests are in harm's way by such approach.
.
.
