Some photos of the various flora and fauna of Gabon. The pictures of the snakes, spiders and scorpions are from the Cellule Jungle at Camp De Gaulle, where they keep the animals to study their behaviour and lifestyles. Other pictures are of wildlife that we happened to cross during our various sorties into the Gabonese terrain.
