In the National Park, guest(s) will be able to see wildlife thriving in this dynamic landscape, from the ubiquitous long tailed macaque to the elusive silver leaf monkey and the iconic proboscis monkey, with around 275 individuals living in the area. These charming creatures can often be seen swinging through the trees or lounging in the mangroves. Other notable residents of the park include the bearded wild boar, the largest resident mammal, and the charming silver leaf monkey, although they may show their shyness by urinating if they feel threatened. Visitors can also see squirrels, flying lemurs, otters, tarsiers, slow loris, and various species of birds, both resident and migratory, adding to the charm of Bako’s rich biodiversity. Our experienced park guide will show you the path to look for the iconic Green-pit viper.
