Bigger than you huh? He looks purdy scary! Cool pix of the Metroxylon seeds. I was only able to find one of those on the ground at Ho'omaluhia last year. The tree was overflowing with the armadillo shaped seed. It has since turned to a much lighter shade of green and is as hard as a rock!

Excellent thread Paul! I've always wanted to visit Bali, even more so now.

Btw, what is the palm in the last photo in post 310? I saw a few of these at a garden in C.R.

I certainly enjoyed your trip through your pictures!!  

When will we see you with your ususal cronies (MattyB, BS and the rest) visit an unsuspecting country?  

Can't wait for that and the hillarious posts that will surely follow.

I love your exchanges and actually spent yesterday reading  your threads specifically.  You guys are a hoot!!! :D

I have to confess. I just jumped to this post. I'll need to set aside a weekend to get caught up on this thread. I do believe that was a veitchia and not a ptychosperma a few posts back.

There is an entire story behind that cassowary bird incident that has to be told. It beats Jeff Foxworthy's "A beaver tore off my nipple" story by a long shot.

A few mates that have traveled in the States have returned home with amazing stories of how aggressive the American beaver can be. Apparently the wild beaver is now difficult to find and has been largely replaced by the domesticated shaved beaver. Is this really true?

Careful. Mr Moderator might try to shut this thread down like he did the other one. The Foxworthy story is supposedly true, at least he tells it as one.

I gotta get rid of this new avatar. It's getting old real fast.

They have two of those big birds at the Wild Animal Park.  They are located in the Australian Forrest.  One kick from their hefty legs will more than knock off your sack and jewels but will quickly sign you off earth in a mere second.
