πSee the dazzling Ahaetulla (Sri Lankan Green Whip Snake)β Keep your eyes peeled for this dazzling emerald wonder! Don't be fooled by its slender body, the Ahaetulla is a master of camouflage, blending perfectly with the lush foliage of the riverbank. This sneaky snake hunts lizards and frogs with lightning speed, making it a true wild ninja.
πWitness the mighty Indian Rock Python β Be awestruck by the king of the riverbanks! The Indian Rock Python, Sri Lanka's largest snake, can grow longer than a car! While mostly nocturnal, you might catch a glimpse of this powerful predator basking in the afternoon sun! βοΈ
π Keep an eye out for the prehistoric Mugger Crocodile β they may look scary, but these majestic reptiles are more interested in keeping the river ecosystem in check than causing trouble. π€Our experienced guides will keep you safe while you learn all about these fascinating creatures.
π¦ Look up for the soaring spectacle of birds of prey β The Bentota River is a haven for incredible birds! The Lesser Whistling-Duck is a champ at holding breath underwater, like a tiny scuba diver searching for yummy plants. Sharing the spotlight is the Cotton Pygmy-Goose, the world's tiniest goose, even smaller than a duck! On land, strut the Sri Lanka Junglefowl, a cool relative of the very first chickens! π Soaring above are the Rock Pigeons, globetrotters seen all over the world, and the Sri Lanka Wood-Pigeon, a stunning emerald bird you won't find anywhere else! β¨
π Swing into fun with playful monkeys! β These cheeky critters will keep you entertained with their acrobatic antics as you cruise down the river. But don't worry, they're more interested in swinging through the trees than stealing your snacks, unless you're holding bananas, that is! π
