It is a river whose height varies greatly with the tide, the sea is very close. This river winds through an impenetrable Pandanus forest, which after several kilometers becomes a real flooded forest with peaty soil. In Singapore (2), they live on fast-flowing streams, in swamps, in the forest.<br>The many A. melanocyana that we saw were standing on the banks of this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meslibellules.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/29-03-2025-Maludan-N.P.webp\">pandanus forest<\/a>, frequently perched, as above, on these very sharp palms; the problem in taking decent photos of them is that we were in a canoe.
