Eventually this will have pictures, but I need to start making the list before I forget. Vaguely ordered in terms of awesomeness. Hopefully there will be updates on the drive to Belgaum tomorrow!
- 3 monkeys (no pictures though!)
- 1 mongoose (it was not eating a snake)
- 1 tiny hummingbird the size of a bee
- One parrot, seemingly racing the car
- A few geckos/salamanders of various sizes in my bathroom and bedroom
- A dozen or so feral dogs, a few of which want to be friends and get fed, but most of which know to keep away from people
- One adorable feral puppy that really wanted to be friends
- a number of black bees, the size of small sparrows
- Wild pigs, both at the monastery and in the middle of large towns
- Many cows, which mostly look too thin, one of which was dead
- A reasonable quantity of sheep and goats, in places that are reasonable to find them
- A few frogs, which became a bazillion frogs after the rains. I was worried about stepping on them at night, but the closest call came when one jumped onto my foot.
- Beautiful birds - some varieties of cranes and similar birds.
- Butterflies, sometimes a dozen at a time. Many likes resting on the walls of the guesthouse.
- A few cats, one of which went into the monastery during the rain. Maybe it is still in there, somewhere.
- Ants. Ants everywhere. I had no idea I could peacefully exist with so many ants.
