Paradoxically, despite the difficult ecological north shore lij forest hills situation, north shore

In Borneo we came for two reasons: to meet Headhunters (including whether it worked you can read here) and to see one of the richest ecosystems in the world, inhabited by countless animal species, of which the lion's share are endemic. In short, north shore lij forest hills we wanted a just poodglądać animals in their natural environment.
The reality, however, is not so rosy. Although we Borneo is associated mainly with the jungle, it is - at least in the Malaysian part - every day there is less and less. Just ride a bus from Kuching to Kota Kinbalu to realize how it really is. On each side eternally the same, monotonous view: palm trees, palm trees, palm trees. Oil palm plantations stretching north shore lij forest hills into infinity, and imagine our surprise when one of the best places for viewing the animals on the island, turned out to be just a band kilkusetmetrowym jungle on the bank of the river, surrounded entirely by plantations.
Paradoxically, despite the difficult ecological north shore lij forest hills situation, north shore lij forest hills the animals in Borneo's much easier to observe than in other parts of Southeast Asia. Even small parts, not cut yet, the jungle was transformed into national parks, reserves and rehabilitation centers for endangered species. For the unaware tourist seriousness of the situation, Borneo animal may seem like paradise, but they are probably interested in quite a different view. Fortunately, the matter becomes more and more global publicity and we hope that the Malaysian north shore lij forest hills government will go to their senses and understand that natural north shore lij forest hills heritage is more important north shore lij forest hills than money (yeah sure).
There is probably nothing more fun than watching the actions of animals, which so closely resemble ourselves. These movements, the facial expression, this reaction - like anything, our odbijcie in the mirror, only slightly caricatured. Orangutans are happy, jumping on the branches, rotate around its own axis, pull a bunch of bananas, until ... until they do not realize that only a few years of watching kids who are fiu-bździu in the head. Then there is ON, or ONA, male or alpha female. Distinguished, huge, not at all funny, with sullen expression are going to pick up what they deserve. Apparently, when you meet such an orangutan in the wild should run away like hell, but not here, because we are Semenggoh Rehabilitation Center orangutans in Malaysian Sarawak. Places where you can see our ginger cousins in Borneo is a few, but apparently Semenggoh best mimics natural conditions. Orangutans north shore lij forest hills are living not on the reserve, and the daily feeding in front of dozens of tourists come only if they feel like it. Completely at liberty can not live the simple reason that in the area there is a sufficiently large tracts of jungle.
In search of true adventure and unexpected encounters with orangutans in the jungle you have to go to Sumatra, or even the larger national parks, north shore lij forest hills the Indonesian part of Borneo. Seeing wild primates in Malaysia is much more difficult, but we managed! They sat in the trees feasting on the best fruits, while we were trapped on a small boat floating on the river Kinabatangan. north shore lij forest hills Satisfaction meetings REALLY wild animals is a hundred times greater, even if they are far away and you need good eyesight strain to recognize the shape of a hairy, red-haired orangutan. Ugly as the Dutchman
While the orangutan takes all the attention of the media, it lives in Borneo many other no less interesting species of monkeys. Our hearts have conquered nosacze that seem to be so clumsy north shore lij forest hills and so affected by the evolution of that mercy to them turns into worship. After malezyjsku monkeys are called Dutch because of their wielgachnymi noses and big bellies, resembled Malajom Dutch colonizers. I'm not convinced that bigger is an insult to monkeys, or the hapless Dutch. north shore lij forest hills The best place to observe them is the Bako National Park, where the group nosaczy sit on their favorite trees on the beach. In addition, the monkeys are quite common on the island.
Macaques monkey nasty divided into two types: nasty and wild. Wannabes are those with whom we usually have to deal with: the ruins of temples, monkey groves, or on city streets. It's the małpiszony that tear food, open backpacks, cameras destroy and steal glasses. It is to them we had to face in Bako National Park, where naively walked with plastic plastic bag in his hand. Fortunately, we had a stand at the ready, because the bared teeth macaque, do not look anything but friendly. But in nature there are also quite a wild macaques that do not know, that man is free chow and behave as befits a wild animal: from a distance. This nicer macaques had a chance north shore lij forest hills to look at quite closely over the Kinabatangan River in Sabah. We saw there two species
