Description

There are lots of places to see Tarsiers in captivity on Bohol, but many of the caged animals that are handled by humans die from stress and other complications brought about by their caged captivity.

An excellent way to see the Tarsiers that is sustainable is at:
The Tarsier Foundation Sanctuary on Bohol
www.tarsierfoundation.org/

Guides know where the Tarsiers sleep in the sanctuary and they take guests in limited number in to see the animals in a way that does not disrupt the Tarsiers normal behavior.

Found in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, it looks like it has regrown its tail.

Another species that I haven't been able to identify with the online resources I was using, so help appreciated again.

In a small marshy area next to the river I found 3 or 4 different frog species amongst the leaves of over-hanging plants. These ones I saw more on the ground along the path leading to the marsh.

Jumped across the road as we left Rajah Sikatuna National Park and then bounced away almost as fast.

I found these in most places where I found other frogs and saw a lot along roads between rice paddy fields. Sadly they seem to be very common on Bohol.

Found in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, I'm uncertain of the id, but P. dorsalis does seem the most appropriate.

These were very common around the guesthouse I was staying in, in fact I'd never seen them in such numbers anywhere else. In one hole there seemed to be two full-sized adults and at least one very small juvenile.

Found in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, I'm uncertain of the id. It could be several Platymantis species that I have since researched and looks very similar to a Leptolalax species that I am more familiar with.

They were calling loudly (whistle-like) hidden within rock crevices and within rotting logs, they seemed to be very common at this location.
