Snippets of the past few months2

Dog-faced Water Snake (Cerebus rynchops) my first sighting at P. Semakau! There's also the Banded File Snake (Acrochordus granulatus) but I couldnt get a good picture of it.
Beautiful sunsets over at Pulau Semakau reefs; there's always beautiful sunsets at good days, one reason why we should let this place be as it is.
Sea cucumber (Holothuria sp.)
Thunder Crab (Myomenippe hardwickii) with no front two claws. Poor thing!

The following pictures are taken from Shrimp Workshop held at DBS:
Spider that lives in the water, i forgot the name >.< Snapping shrimp (Alpheus sp.). Snapping shrimps have one claw bigger than the other. This big claw is used to make a 'snap' sound (which comes at a speed of lightning) that stuns prey.
Skeleton shrimp. Looks so creepy!
These are dead prawns
A misc picture: Green Crested Lizard (Bronchocela jubata), native to Singapore. Saw this at Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve
