Mini participants : two persons
Tanjung Puting National Park is
a home of more than just the great
apes, other kinds of animals are
really easy to find, such as; gibbons,
big dragonflies, blue streak of
kingfisher. The other interesting
animals require patience including;
proboscis monkey, crab eating macaques,
small crocodiles, wild pig, deer,
monitor lizards and hornbill, they
show up occasionally.
The boating route to the national
park is very memorable experience,
leading alone the jet black, nipa
palm fringed the Sekonyer river,
while the black water rich of tannins
organic acid and poor of oxygen
reflects the sky and trees like
a mirror.
