Kurt Ping

Kurt is a wildlife guide and nature/macro photographer based in Malaysia. He is deeply passionate about the natural world and all the flora and fauna that it has to offer.  His main focus is snakes, but he is very well versed in all reptiles, amphibians, and insects. He spends an average of 3 days per week, hiking, exploring and photographing wildlife. Kurt has intimate local knowledge of Kuala Lumpur and Peninsular Malaysia, including anything from bad traffic times, to local laws and cultural sensitivities.  He is also a first-class tracker who understands the behaviour and habits of animals, when they're active, and how to spot them. He is amazingly humble given his body of work. His photos have been featured in such varied places as Reader's Digest to The Reptile Report, as well as many field guides and even formal documentation that accompanies new species descriptions.  Kurt speaks English, Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese.
