DOGGED WANDERINGS...

Gecko graveyard


Once again I find myself apologising to blog readers who're less drawn to our reptilish friends.

This is the inside of a pathside lamp at the Lost Civilisation trail at Sentosa. Disgusting... and it's not just one lamp... it's all the lamps by the pathway. Some poor design, that - geckoes attracted to the light for some reason (to get to the insects perhaps?), they slip in, get trapped, and get toasted to a crisp. You'd think you'd only see this kind of sight at traditional Chinese medicine stores.

Did you take some specimens back home to pickle with the Isopropyl alcohol I got you?

BTW - I left you a little gift behind. It can be found at the top of your bookshelf/cupboard. The one by the tripod collection. Go on, open it.

Perhaps this reflects on the self centredness of mankind. We have terms like eurocentric, egocentric, etc. Perhaps speciesentric? speciecentric? I found a similar word: speciesism.

hahahaa... just look at the contrasting comments. ecologists rulez :)

yeah... 'speciesism' might work, but i reckon 'anthropocentrism' is a graver discrimination.
