Hello Hivers...
For nature lovers, exploring the forest is an unforgettable experience. One of the most unique experiences is jumping from tree to tree with long-tailed monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). These agile and intelligent monkeys are often found in tropical forests of Asia.
The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is a monkey native to Southeast Asia but is now spread across various parts of Asia. Its local name in Malay, kra or kera, is an imitation of the sound made by this animal. In old literature, this species is often referred to as the long-tailed macaque or long-tailed macaque (from English, long-tailed macaque).
This monkey is very adaptive and is a wild animal that is able to follow the development of human civilization. In addition to being a pet or show animal, this monkey is also used in various medical experiments. In some places, such as in Sangeh, Bali, the kra monkey is considered a sacred animal and should not be disturbed.
Long-tailed macaques are commonly found in coastal forests (mangroves, coastal forests), and forests along large rivers near villages, mixed gardens, or plantations; in some places up to an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level. This species often forms groups of up to 20-30 individuals with 2-4 adult males and the rest are females and children. Source
Adventure in the forest by following the trail of long-tailed monkeys not only tests courage, but also provides insight into wildlife life. These monkeys are very agile, using their long tails for balance as they jump from branch to branch. For humans, of course, ropes, suspension bridges, or tree climbing techniques are needed to be able to follow their trail in the forest. In addition to being fun, this adventure also provides valuable lessons about the forest ecosystem. Seeing how long-tailed monkeys forage, communicate, and interact with their environment can raise awareness of the importance of preserving their habitat.
