Last week we got a chance to see some unusual wildlife. We did some truly amazing snorkelling on a fringing reef. It seemed like we were in a Discovery Channel special. The coral and fish were beautiful and we saw a large lionfish and purple spotted ray. From there we went to a wildlife refuge where we saw the critically endangered black masque, cuscus, and tarsier. Cuscus are whitish raccoon-sized marsupials with long tails that live in trees. Tarsiers are tiny hand-sized nocturnal primates. Paul is convinced they were the inspiration for the Ewoks. Both were adorable. / Jen
