Paluma Field Station
The Paluma Field Station is located on the Paluma Ridge in Australia.  The field station accommodates about 20 students. Research focus areas include fresh water and terrestrial animals including birds, reptiles and insects.  Paluma hosts over 120 different species of birds, more than a dozen frog species, and about two dozen lizard species.  Three snake species can also be found here.  


Manu National Park is located in Manu, Peru.  The main reason I want to visit Manu National Park is because they have these: 

Cococay, Bahamas 
Cococay is easily my favorite place I have been to so far.  Beaches are great, but you can't see the variety of wildlife in Panama City that you can see here.  There are large fish that burrow in the sand and rock and quickly camouflage themselves as well as iguanas that like to hang around the island.  

Muntjac
Muntjacs, also known as barking deer, are indigenous to South Asia.  They live in rainforests, have no seasonal rut, and can mate at any time of the year.
