A Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) spotted at Rifle Range Nature Park, Singapore on 30 Aug 2026. This one was curious enough to look at the people taking photos of it.

Delighted to spot this Common Palm Civet (Paradoxurus musanga) at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 15 Aug 2026. It was high up on a tree, resting. An appreciative crowd had gathered on the boardwalk below to see it.
The Palm Civet is nocturnal and common, but seldom seen in the daytime. They are sometimes spotted in people's homes.

A Rat (genus Rattus) spotted at Bidadari Park, Singapore on 16 Sept 2025. This one was bold enough to stop in the open near the walking path and take its time eating.

A Long-tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) spotted at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 2 Aug 2026. It climbed down a tree and then went up on to the post to, in Singlish, "Lepak". :-)
(Lepak is a local slang term for relaxing.)

Smooth-coated Otters (Lutra perspicillata) spotted at Punggol Waterway Park, Singapore on 5 July 2026. It was a large group, with at least five juveniles, making their way along the river. They paused while navigatating past a group of recreational boats.
On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/378332542 ], with lots more shots.
Singapore is one of the few places where you can run into otters in urban areas.

Brilliant. Looking forward to more of these:

Watched this little guy munch grass down by a (the) lake for a bit. Looked pretty happy but also pretty eager to get back in the water and cool off. Thought it was a beaver at first but when it got on land I resolved as nutria.

A Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) spotted at Windsor Nature Park, Singapore on 12 April 2026. An active fellow, it started grooming itself, then turned to gaze curiously at the humans taking photos of it. 🙂
Colugos can glide huge distances between trees using a gliding membrane, (patagium) that stretches between their limbs.

A European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) spotted at the start of the Glenorchy Lagoon Wildlife Reserve on 25 Dec 2025. Native to Spain and Portugal and released in New Zealand in the 1830s, they are now agricultural and ecological pests.

Unexpectedly spotted this Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) this morning (3 June 2025) on the way to work at one-North: Fusionpolis North Park. It sniffed at some scat on the walkway before moving off.
These are handphone photos, so not very sharp.

A curious Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) spotted at Bukit Batok Nature Park, Singapore on 12 May 2025. It turned for a while to stare at the strange human taking shots.
Colugos are native, nocturnal gliding mammals.

A Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 15 Dec 2024. It was sandbathing on the path, then moved behind the shelter in the background for some privacy. There, I managed to make eye contact with it.

A pair of Smooth-coated Otters (Lutrogale perspicillata) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on 15 March 2025. They were sandbathing at this spot for a while. Visitors passing by had a good view of them from the path next to the spot. Later on, they went to a nearby pond for a swim.

A Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) mother and infant spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore on 24 Nov 2024, spotted high up on a tree. The last shot was taken later, after the infant shifted position.
Colugos are nocturnal gliding mammals and usually rest against trees in the daytime.

A Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 24 March 2024. It was sand bathing on the walking path. We humans watched and waited for it to finish before moving on.

See the comment for a video of it sand-bathing.

The Gondwanan Origin of #Tribosphenida (#Mammalia) https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03115518.2022.2132288
The research indicates that #Theria evolved in Gondwana, thriving and diversifying there for 50 million years before migrating to #Asia during the Early #Cretaceous epoch. Once they arrived in Asia they diversified rapidly, filling many ecological niches.

Got close and more personal with one of the Smooth-coated Otters (Lutrogale perspicillata) at the Pandan river, Singapore, today. It swam up to the shore only a few metres away and gave me a curious look.

This is a travesty.
I'm particularly saddened, and deeply affected, when these types of events occur. #Marine_Mammals, coastal species of birds and #invertebrates are close to my heart, and a big part of the sustainability of life on this planet.

Spotted a member of one Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) family near the bridge over the Pandan River, Singapore, on May 15, 2019. It was busy with its meal and wasn't bothered with the people gawking at it eating.

A Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) family reappeared at the Pandan River, Singapore, looking for food. Getting shots of them in the water is a bit of a challenge as they move about and dive. But I got lucky and this fellow popped up in front of me and gave me time to take a shot. Taken in the morning on 12 April, 2019.

Spotted a family of Smooth-coated Otters (Lutrogale perspicillata) at Pandan River, Singapore, on 5 March 2019. Several had caught fish and having a meal.
I was standing next to them by the side of the river, so this was the closest I've been to them yet. They occasionally gave me a stare, so I didn't stay too long so as not to disturb their meal.
Fun and exciting.
