Some of the creatures seen on my recent
caving trip to Perlis.
It was rainy season, July, but there were less leeches than I expected. And sadly we saw no live snakes, just the dead one. As usual in this part of Perlis, I heard gibbons calling every morning but only managed to see them once when I went out early to track them. We did see some macaques and some dusky langurs, and one night a mouse deer ran in front of my car.

Which cave that you have been explored?
ReplyDeleteWow! So many interesting fauna!!!
ReplyDeleteCaves that tourists don't go to! It was part of a caving expedition with cavers from UK.
ReplyDeleteMay I know the location?
ReplyDeleteHow well do you know the area? We looked at caves in Wang Ulu, Wang Mu, Bintong, Kurong Batang etc. But you need to get permits from the Forest Dept to enter any areas within FD or Perlis State Park land.
ReplyDeleteI've relatives in Perlis, there should be no problem for me to enter, plus I have been to perlis since 15 years ago.
