Have a peaceful and calm day exploring the protected mangrove forest in Qeshm Island while paddleboarding. This activity is great for everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, because it doesn't require much physical effort and is easy for beginners to learn.

OMG the crocodile I saw is actually considered Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve's "resident crocodile", imaginatively named "Tail-less" because it doesn't have a tail! That explains a lot!

CW: Crocodiles
I also saw this sign for the first time. I had been to the Woodlands before, and people had mentioned that there were crocodiles there, just as I was ankle-deep in the water because it had *rained*, but now I actually saw this sign.
As a Dutchie, I always believe that other cultures are way too "betuttelend" with their warnings for everything, so naturally, I thought "Aw. It's Singapore. How bad can it possibly be!?"
That naiveté only lasted for about 15 minutes, after which I went "yo wtf!?"

CW: Crab, fish, mention of ants
I had never seen this before: a water-spitting fish.
Turns out it's called an Archer Fish, and it was hunting for ants on a tree by spitting water at them to make them fall down from the tree, ready for the fish to snack on. As I was watching, another archer fish actually came by and was repeatedly chased away by the first one. "My tree!" It looked like the needle fish were *also* trying to munch on the fallen ants, hanging around the first archer fish and speeding towards any fallen ants whenever they dared.
It was amazing to watch, but hard to capture in a picture. This was my most successful attempt, but the fish could easily spit water up to a height of 50 cm, probably more!

🇧🇩🌳 Bangladesh, home to the largest mangrove forest in the world, is on the cusp of passing two new laws that will rewrite the rules for how forest resources are used and conserved.
Can this new legislation change the fortunes of Bangladesh’s fast-depleting green cover?
