Above:
a lizard seen in the New Territories where there are green hills and trees.  You
may have seen photos of urban Hong Kong and figure that there is nothing but concrete
and glass. Actually, 75% of Hong Kong is not developed and there is some wildlife
- well, not too wild, just not domesticated. Snakes are probably the most common
when it comes to dangerous ones, and some of them are very poisonous. There are
also wild boars, though they are not as often seen.
Close to the northern
border of Hong Kong is an area called Mai Po which is famous for being a sanctuary
for migratory birds. |
