The first animals we came across were Francois’ Langurs (Trachypithecus francoisi) also known as Francois' leaf monkey, the Tonkin leaf monkey, or the white side-burned black langur. The preferred habitat of François' langur is a karst topography; limestone cliffs and caves of tropical and subtropical zones. Unfortunately, my point & shoot camera cannot zoom far enough so you will have refer to the information board for how they looked like.

Along the way to see the tigers, we also spotted deers but they were kind of elusive and hidden under the trees and shrubs. We mistook the sleeping Dhole (Cuon alpinus) for a fox. Also known as the Asiatic Wild Dog or Indian Wild Dog, they are highly social animal living in a pack comprising 6 to 17 animals.

At the Rock Cascade display area, one can go up the Predator Trek or continue along the elevated walkway. If you are lucky, one can spot a Malayan Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) walking inside the netted path next to you. In the tiger enclosure, there are bodies of water and cascading waterfalls.

all kidns of strange and wonderful beafts in the world. how do we even know them all. wh

That’s the beauty of it: we don’t know them all! We’re constantly discovering new species! Granted, some of these discoveries weren’t completely unknown to science and were only misidentified as a different animal, but they’re still pretty cool nonetheless. Here are some mammals that were discovered in the past few years:

The Popa langur (Trachypithecus popa), first described in 2020.

The northern greater glider (Petauroides minor) and the central greater glider (Petauroides armillatus), upgraded from subspecies of the southern greater glider (Petauroides volans), to their own species in 2020.

The Ramari’s beaked whale (Mesoplodon eueu), described from a single beached specimen in 2021!

The striking Halloween colored Nimba myotis bat (Myotis nimbaensis), described in 2021.

The southern maned sloth (Bradypus crinitus), first described in 2022.

The Benin tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax interfluvialis), first described in 2022.

The eastern Mindanao gymnure (Podogymnura intermedia) and the Kitanglad gymnure (podogymnura minima), first described this year, in January 2023.

And the Talpa hakkariensis mole, described just last month in August 2023!

The dusky leaf monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus),

also known as the spectacled langur or the spectacled leaf monkey, is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, and can occasionally be found in Singapore. During the day, these small, folivorous primates divide in sub-groups and forage for vegetation and fruit throughout the tropical forests. According to the IUCN, the dusky leaf monkey's population is declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and anthropogenic land use, which prompted the IUCN to classify the species as endangered in 2015. -Wikipedia

Hey, do you have any monkies? I'm collecting a lost for a very knowledgeable 6yo to research, so if you have any cool looking ones, he'd love them! Thanks :)

I might have a few cool monkeys for you!

Silvery lutung (Trachypithecus cristatux)

This arboreal monkey is found in wetland forests, including mangroves, coasts, rivers, and swamps, across several Indonesian islands. They are far more specialised for eating plants than most primates, with ridged teeth and a multi-chambered stomach. Juvenile silvery lutungs are bright orange, a stark contrast to their adult grey colour.
