Forest Guardian. Photographer Ethan Mann lives in South-East Queensland and does a lot of herping and wildlife photography in the area. Check out his work at: https://ethanmannphotography.wordpress.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ethanmannphotog/ ‘While on a five-month wildlife- oriented trip through Southeast Asia, I spent a few weeks exploring the tropical and montane forests of Malaysian Borneo. Borneo has some especially incredible species of forest dragons that have adapted to arboreal life in the rainforests. While hiking in Kubah National Park, I spotted a Borneo Forest Dragon ( Gonocephalus borneensis ) on a large, mossy tree. As I approached closer, it advertised a defensive display, and I captured this wide-angle image to showcase the behaviour and habitat of these cryptic agamids.’ Image by Ethan Mann..
