searching for knights in the philippine jungle
a large cow-like animal, but no knights
after a short flight and flat-tire adventure van ride deep into the jungle of the Philippine island province of Palawan, i made a couple stops to look for knights and then found myself checking-in to a “resort” that i would never want to enter pantless. this was a place very very far from anything having to do with our viral video production.
three of the more notable encounters of that first day in the jungle are pictured below: (1) an army of badass ants crossing the path to my hut, (2) a venomous snake under the dinner table in the open-air lodge, and (3) a winning combination of a giant gecko and flying bats hunting 3-inch long superbugs above the dinner table… nope, no YouTube or Facebook up in this mofo.
4-lane highway of ant traffic.
hard to be pantless in the philippine jungle when venomous snakes appear randomly beneath dinner table.
and above the dinner table, giant gecko and crazy bat at the same time. ZOINKS!
It looks like very scary!
DUDE. these pictures are freakin amazing. ESPECIALLY the ant traffic.
Ah, a small snake. He was only hungry, not looking for human tastes. I now live on another island in the Philippines, an island called Bohol. A few months ago we had a visit from a snake as well, on our front step. An articulated boa. Only 10 feet long.
What you are experiencing is normal. Try to get used to it. You might love it.
how venomous was it?
Peter ~ Critters turn up in the darndest places in California, too .. It happens whenever we superior humanoids build in/on their habitat .. Just be aware and be brave! Tio
