    This shore pit viper (about 1 foot long) was found by the bridge over the main river at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. As it's a rather aggressive and highly venomous species, the rangers had to chase it further away, as it was within range of people strolling or leaning by the bridge's railing.

    There also used to be a couple of resident crocodiles in the river around the bridge but i hear dumb people have been throwing stones at them so they no longer hang out in that area.

    Nice shot! I think Human is more dangerous than those animals (if they are not in the protected park, they will be killed).
