Mammal

Recent routine patrol along the coast by the Park staff led to a sweet finding!

A malnutrition looking Muntiacus seen wondering at the edge of the forest close to the beach, about 500m from Kuala Similajau.


The poor looking Deer

Wildlife surveys conducted back in 1982 and 1986 resulted to at least 34 mammal species occur in the Park, Muntiacus being one of them.

Although it's a common mammal species, we are all delighted to know it's still surviving despite present as well as upcoming threats in its surrounding.
