The natural maternal instinct of Simona shines in this photo, even though she herself is an orphan and never really knew her mother’s love. Simona was re-introduced into a semi-wild island by BOSF Nyaru Menteng many years ago and has successfully given birth to her own baby (on the right). At the same time, it seems she adopted a baby in the wild and called it her own.

BORNEO WILDLIFE SUPERCHARGED WITH NIKON D500 BY C.S.LING If you look closely, you can clearly see the blood-sucking mosquitoes all around the poor monitor lizard. Especially the one on the left, you can see the mosquito’s proboscis had pierced through the lizard’s skin and the bright red blood coursing through it’s body!
