216. Wild Indonesia ...
Today (for some Indonesians) is Holy Idul Fitri, the day that marks the end of Ramadhan. For some Indonesians, this is the day to be spent with relatives, much like Thanksgiving for Americans. For my family, though, it's just the four of us. All of my relatives in Jakarta, are from my Mom's side, and they are Catholics, so they don't celebrate Idul Fitri. The Muslims relatives from my Dad's side, are all in Sumatra, in a city called Pekanbaru, about 1.5 hour from Jakarta by plane. So we just call them :).
What did I do today? Other than reading, I spent my time being amazed with the beauty of my own country, by watching BBC Knowledge channel program, "Wild Indonesia". I learned so many animals exist here in Indonesia -- since Indonesia combines the fauna of Asia and Australia. Facts like ... "Out of 42 types of Birds of Paradise, 38 of them are in Indonesia". We even have whales!!! I didn't know that!!
These are some photos I gathered from Google Image, about few animals that appeared on the program:
Spectral Tarsier
Sugar Glider
Long-beaked Echidna
Quoll
Komodo Dragon
One of the Birds of Paradise kind
Kasuari
Whale Shark
Sperm Whale
The MAJESTIC Sumatran Tiger
My country is gorgeous!!
