Transcript

1. 0:00GIANT PYTHONS NEAR VILLAGES. Bali's largest snake lurks by villages, not deep jungle.
2. 0:04Water Monitor. Rarely seen, best left alone. Water monitors patrol West Bali mangroves and river mouths.
3. 0:10Crested Serpent Eagle. Look up in West Bali National Park. The crested serpent eagle's whistle carries a kilometre.
4. 0:16Oriental Pied Hornbill. Hear heavy wingbeats? That's the oriental pied hornbill, a fig specialist in the western forest.
5. 0:21Black Giant Squirrel. A crash high in the canopy means a black giant squirrel. Listen before you look.
6. 0:26Wild Boar. Wild boar are common but shy. Look for churned ground on dry trail edges.
7. 0:32Bali Myna. And the rarest: the Bali myna, the island's only endemic bird, rebuilt from a handful of wild birds.
8. 0:38Bali Bird Park. Try the park's release areas, or near-certain at Bali Bird Park. Go early.
