The proboscis monkey or Orang Blanda (Dutch Ape) in Malay is named for his big nose and belly - so Eddie blended in very easily today :-). he only lives in Borneo and here in Bako Park you can find him if you are lucky - and lucky we were :-)
Bako means Mangrove and it is full with wild life and a super real jungle with simmering temperatures, huge ferns, lots of termites and streams and the occasional Salt water Croc. We spend a full day here and with all the jungle sounds and bright colors it was like we were walking in a David Attenborough nature episode. Which was actually true. Eddie tried the nibble fish whom eat dead skin cells are a common in sallow pools here and luckily all his fingers are still accounted for...
