A heartwarming moment captured in the lush canopy of Sinharaja Rainforest, Sri Lanka. This Purple-faced langur (Semnopithecus vetulus) and her baby were a stunning reminder of the raw beauty and emotional connections in the wild.

Endemic to Sri Lanka and classified as Endangered, these remarkable primates are usually shy and elusive, making this encounter all the more special. Watching the bond between mother and baby langur unfold in their natural habitat was a truly magical experience!

Sinharaja continues to amaze with its diverse wildlife and incredible biodiversity.

Nestled in the lush biodiversity of Sri Lanka's Sinharaja Rainforest, this Hump-nosed Lizard (Lyriocephalus scutatus) paused just long enough for a portrait. Endemic to Sri Lanka, this remarkable species is known for its distinctive bulbous snout and vivid green coloration, helping it blend effortlessly into its tropical surroundings. It’s usually calm and slow-moving, making it a delight to observe — and photograph — in its natural habitat.

This encounter was one of those magical moments where everything aligned in the wild.
Sinharaja never disappoints.

Hiking through the Sinharaja rainforest I met this beautiful creature, It is the largest agamid endemic to Sri Lanka and lives in dense wet zone forests. It is called the hump-nosed lizard, hump snout lizard or the lyreshead. Beautiful!

Serendib Scops Owl (Otus thilohoffmanni) – the most recently discovered bird in Sri Lanka since 1868.

The Serendib scops owl (Otus thilohoffmanni) is the most recently discovered bird of Sri Lanka. It was originally located by its unfamiliar poo-ooo call in the Kitulgala rainforest by prominent Sri Lankan ornithologist Deepal Warakagoda. Six years later, it was finally seen by him on 23 January 2001 in Sinharaja, and formally described as a species new to science in 2004. Apart from Sinharaja and Kitulgala, it has also been found at Runakanda Reserve in Morapitiya and Eratna Gilimale. It is known as පඩුවන් බස්සා in Sinhala.

是斯里蘭卡最近發現的鳥類。 斯里蘭卡著名鳥類學家迪帕爾·瓦拉卡戈達 (Deepal Warakagoda) 最初通過其在基圖爾格勒 (Kitulgala) 雨林中發出的不熟悉的便便叫聲找到了它。 六年後，他終於於 2001 年 1 月 23 日在辛哈拉加 (Sinharaja) 看到了它，並於 2004 年正式被描述為科學新物種。 [3] 除了 Sinharaja 和 Kitulgala 之外，莫拉皮蒂亞 (Morapitiya) 的 Runakanda 保護區和 Eratna Gilimale 也發現了它。 它在僧伽羅語中被稱為පඩුවන්බස්සා。

它是自 1868 年斯里蘭卡哨鶇（後來的錫蘭哨鶇）（Myophonus blighi）被發現以來，在斯里蘭卡發現的第一種新鳥類。 它也是斯里蘭卡第 24 種（據一些權威機構稱是第 27 種）特有鳥類。

Layard's parakeet (Psittacula calthrapae) is a parrot which is a resident endemic breeder in Sri Lanka. The common name of this bird commemorates the British naturalist Edgar Leopold Layard; his first wife, Barbara Anne Calthrop, whom he married in 1845, is commemorated in the specific epithet.
