My Madagacar Leaf-nosed Snake!???? This girl eats anoles for me, they are strictly lizard eaters since a diet of rodents would be bad for them since their body isn’t designed to digest them. Vine Snakes are the same way! An occasional rodent is okay for them if they’ll eat it, many of them actually won’t! #leafnosedsnake #madagascar #langaha #bizarre #weird #colubrid #colubridsofinstagram #snake #snakesofinstagram #snakes #reptile #reptilesofinstagram #petstagram #animalsofinstagram #girlswithsnakes #girlswithreptiles #exoticpet #beautifulsnake #animalsofinstagram #herpetology #snek #instagood #instapet #instadaily #animallover #snakelover #reptilelover #reptilekeeper #herp

Insects never fail to surprise me… This gorgeous male Luna moth emerged today, and so did one of my monarch butterflies! They don't seem to realize that it's January, 40 degrees outside and storming… #actiasluna #lunamoth #moth #saturniidae #saturniid #insects #lepidoptera #lepidopterist #silkmoth #giantsilkmoth #moths #actias #actiaslunamoth #luna

Definitely not as cute as the tarantula I encountered yesterday. ???? Babirusas are wild pigs of pacific Asia. This one in particular is native to Malaysia. Their horn like tusks are used In defense to protect their eyes during a fight with other babirusa or other animals. #animals #nature #outdoors #photography #bestoftheday #instalike #travelgram #animal #travel #natgeo #wildlife #animallovers #amazing #wildlifeaddicts #wanderlust #picoftheday #exotic #wild #nationalgeographic #nicbrownphoto #photographer #cute #wildlifephotographer #animalsco #babirusa #pig #wildpig #malaysia

#10. Mexican hairy dwarf

View this post on Instagram

A Mexican hairy dwarf porcupine named Simon at @philadelphiazoo. This porcupine’s body grows to between 12 and 18 inches long and its tail can reach up to 14 inches. Its short yellow spikes are almost completely concealed by its long hair covering its entire body, with the exception of its head. This porcupine uses its long tail to grasp onto branches, as it spends most of its time in trees. Being a nocturnal animal, this species uses the same exact hiding spot every day and then reveals itself at night in order to forage for food like fruit, leaves and seeds. . . #porcupine #yellow #animalfacts #photoark #natgeo
