Ornate Fruit-Dove
My brother has pointed me in the direction of West Papua for its enticingly weird rodent life. However, the ornate fruit-dove (seldom can bird have been better named) seemed to offer a nice opportunity for a break from the rat-race. Also, the most interesting rodent in West Papua is a giant (three-pound) rat, which would be slightly disconcerting to display here. But if I ever have the money, it's to West Papua I will go.

There are all sorts of good reasons to go to West Papua, and then there are is the nation's mineral wealth.
