Ever wondered what it’s like to be a field biologist, what are the challenges involved and what type of research is done? Our curator of herpetology Dr Chan Kin Onn spills it all as he shares his extensive experience trekking through humid jungles and wading knee-deep through coursing rivers looking for amphibians and reptiles. His 15 years of field work has taken him across Southeast Asia and America and has led to the discovery of more than 50 new species of some these poorly understood creatures!
