Malaysia is a world-famous paradise of flora and fauna, and visiting the local zoo can not only increase your knowledge, but also see the animals that come alive with your own eyes, which is more real than books and television, which is a good experience. Today, I will introduce you to the cute animals in Malaysia.
jackal
The jackal has reddish-brown fur , while the underside of the neck and thorax are white or yellowish. The hairs on their tails are quite dense, so they look very stout.
Jackals live in groups, but the density in various regions is relatively sparse, and the number is far less than that of foxes, wolves, etc. The habitat is also complex.
Bearded pig in Borneo
Bearded pigs are famous for their beards. The bearded pigs of Borneo are not the same as the ordinary lazy pigs of imagination, they are quite active and can travel 22 kilometers in a month. They are not afraid of water, so they can often see scenes of them swimming in rivers.
Living in the Borneo region, it is a penchant for ripe fruits and mushrooms, and our favorite Dongpo meat is a species of the same family.
Sunda pangolin
Malayan pangolins are covered with dark brown scales except for a white scale on their tail. Areas of the body that lack scales, such as the face and underside of the body, are covered with short, light-colored hairs.
They have long, sticky tongues that are able to scoop up food efficiently. Unfortunately, their scales are considered medicinal, they have been hunted in large numbers and are now on the verge of extinction.
sun bear
The Malay bear is only about 120-150 cm tall, making it the smallest bear in the world. Because their habitat is in hotter rainforests, they do not need to hibernate like other species of bears, but Malay bears are often diurnal and nocturnal.
Malay bears have long tongues that make it easy to swallow termites or other insects. Malay bears have bowed limbs curved, palms tilted inwards, and sharp claw hooks in the shape of sickles, which makes them experts in tree climbing.
Synaptic ape
Black-haired gibbons often roam forests across Malaysia. The zygoteensis belongs to the gibbon subfamily and lives in the forests of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula.
The vocal sacs in the larynx are bare, round and large, gray or pink, bulging like a leather ball when they whistle. The third toe is web-like between them, allowing the two toes to be permanently joined together, even to the terminal joint.
Eastern Bay Owl
Everyone knows about owls, but the Oriental Bay owl is quite special, and its famous V-shaped forehead sets it apart from other species of owls.
Its plumage is usually chestnut brown with cream and off-white undersides with brown markings. It can make a pleasant whistle, usually lasting about 3-7 seconds at a time, adding to its elegant charm and demeanor.
Dai Sheng Bird
Often walk slowly on the ground, foraging for food while walking, flying up branches or flying for a distance before landing on the ground when frightened, flying slowly with two wings, advancing in waves of one volt together.
His temperament is more tame and less afraid of people. The sound is like 'flutter-flutter-flutter', thick and low. When the crown feathers rise, swirl and fall, with the cry, the crown of the feathers fall together, and when the cry is called, the throat and neck are elongated and bulging, the head is extended forward, and the head is constantly nodding as he walks.
Cat monkey
Their skin diaphragm expands, which can transform into a flat parachute shape, allowing the shrew to glid easily from one treetop to another, gliding at a maximum distance of 136 meters.
Primates' closest existing relatives were isolated from primates around 86 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period, forming a new species.
Proboscis monkey
The proboscis monkey is a reddish-brown monkey with a very large nose, which is endemic to the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia and coexists with the Bornean orangutan. This monkey also has an Indonesian name (Dutch monkey) because Indonesians say dutch colonists often had the same large belly and nose.
The proboscis monkey is a large species and is one of the largest monkeys native to Asia. Only the Tibetan macaque and some grey langurs can match its size.
Borneo pygmy elephant
The Bornean pygmy elephant, as the name suggests, is short in stature, with a baby elephant of more than one meter, and an adult male not more than 2.5 meters tall. Babies that look like other elephant species have large ears and long tails that hang almost to the ground. Temperament is more gentle than other Asian elephants.
One of the rare species of Borneo in southeastern Malay Peninsula, there are currently only about 1500 pygmy elephants in the world, and their understanding is very limited.
Kinabalu tree lizard
Found only on kalimantan island in Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, it has always been a tourist attraction and an excellent area for animal and plant research.
The body length of the Kinabalu tree lizard can reach 15 cm (excluding the tail), and the length of the tail can even reach twice the length of the body. From its exaggerated scales and the protrusions on its back, this guy seems to be quite powerful, but in fact it is very gentle.
This shape is very similar to the dragon of the legend of the Western world, so it also has an alias - Kinabalu Dragon.
Orangutan
It is the only remaining genus in the orangutan subfamily, with two species, bornean orangutans and Sumatra orangutans, which are now found only in Southeast Asia. It is very similar to humans, with a genetic similarity of 96.4%.
Together with gorillas and chimpanzees, orangutans are often referred to as "the most immediate relatives of mankind". Their activity habits usually do not communicate with sound, usually several individuals will be active in the same area, but do not interfere with each other, the average life expectancy is about 40 years, the average height is about 171 to 180 cm.
