Kinabatangan River, Sabah

Kinabatangan River, Sabah

Kinabatangan River

This is Sabah's longest river. Along its banks there are Proboscis monkeys, some Orang Utans, snakes, many different types of birds, and a few elephants can be seen on very rare occasions. Accommodation can be found near
Sukau, a small village.

Ten species of monkeys and apes are found in a relatively small area, rated the highest concentration of primates in the whole of Borneo. Besides that, the area has a plethora of animals like the Clouded Leopard, Asian Elephant, Crocodiles, Civet Cats, Otters, and all eight species of Hornbills found in Borneo, Egrets, magnificent Kingfishers, Storks, Hawks and the incredible Oriental Darter which dives into rivers and lakes to pursue fish!autocad 2002 crack patch

But the most amazing spectacle is the bizarre, three feet tall, pot-bellied male Proboscis Monkey found nowhere else in the world except Borneo. No fossils have ever been dug up outside Borneo, a point which mystifies scientists.autocad 2002 crack patch

Its trademark is its overwhelming, pendulous nose which droops well over its mouth. Scientists are still debating what the outrageous nose is for. Some argue it may act like a thermostat for regulating body temperatures. Others theories it may be a sexual attraction to the females which don't have such a  prominent future.autocad 2002 crack patch

Sighting of the Proboscis Monkeys is guaranteed, because they have one fixed habit, that is, they always sleep overnight in trees immediately above river banks. Knowing this, tour operators arrange daily evening or early morning river joy rides either along the Kinabatangan, Sabah's longest river, or its tributaries, especially the Menangol.autocad 2002 crack patch

The Proboscis monkeys are fun to watch because they are very active. They crash around like skilled acrobats, leaping through gaps and breaking through masses of leaves dangerously and noisily but always making it.autocad 2002 crack patch

They are also great divers. Visitors have seen them diving 60 feet into rivers and since they are strangely web-footed, they can swim strongly across rivers!autocad 2002 crack patch

A trip to Sukau also means the chance to see Sabah's longest river, the Kinabatangan, which cuts through the area.autocad 2002 crack patch

There are about eleven beautiful ox-bow lakes in the area which are rich in fish and prawns.autocad 2002 crack patch

Riverside chalets are available for overnight accommodation.autocad 2002 crack patch
