Wildlife

Despite having some strange animal scamper (heavily) back and forth on our bungalow roof two nights in a row ... we were told that there was nothing bigger than a cat on the island, and really, no-one had seen it. On dry land there were fast lizards and a large number and variety of hermit crabs. In fact, our foot-washing pot on our bungalow porch sported a nice large white hermy... I wondered whether they used them as a single - two people, two crabs, therefore two towels. But alas, my white guy disappeared after two days.

See the snorkelling section for more underwater wildlife info - but at the water line there were always masses of crabs on the rocks, lots of hermit crabs, lots of fish... including this one strange parrot fish who came in only a metre from shore and noodled around in the coral sands. He was quite happy sticking his head in the sand and fins in the air!
