Look who is lurking amongst the branches? This is a huge water monitor lizard waiting for unsuspecting birds.
These are long-tailed macaques. They could be found in most jungles and some even at urban parks. Ancient Egyptians must have learn from these primates about using eye shadows. Can be very adaptive in urban living and quite aggressive when comes to food - have seen one snatched food right from a tourist hand at Batu Caves.
Walking with its nose and tails up!! This is a male pig-tailed macaque. A nomadic macaque which can be found in the forest and often used to pluck coconuts by villages.
This is a dusky langur. It is generally greyish and has white rings around its eyes. Have seen one carry a newborn which is usually bright golden-yellow in colour. Can be found in coastal regions or secondary forest.
This is a Himalayan Striped Squirrel. Can be found in the forest but most which i have seen are in the sub-montane regions.
These are plantain squirrels. A common squirrel one would see in the forest as well as gardens, orchards, parks and plantations. The second photo shows that it is trying to chew off the bark of a trunk - it could be looking for some vege matters in its diets or the trunk could have some medicinal properties in it.
This is a giant squirrel. Although found mainly in the forest canopy but some can be seen lower when they are searching for food like this one.
One of the most common flying lizard which you will encounter in the forest trails.
These are Rajah Brooke Butterflies. A much sort after butterflies for collectors.
A beautiful congregation of butterflies picking up minerals from the jungle trails.
