The forest abounds with the famous
Livistona Endauensis, which is indigenous to the region. Other interesting plants include
the climbing bamboo and the walking stick palm, identified by its slender stems and
feather like leaf fronds. There are also many varieties of toadstools and orchids.
Tigers, elephants, and wild boar
are some of the animals found here. The hornbill is a familiar sight along the river while
footprints of elephants have been found further down a few kilometers before reaching
Kampung Pete. The park has been designated as an elephant resettlement area. The Endau
River is a source of fish for the Orang Asli, with a large variety of fish, including the
highly valued "kelisa" found in abundance. The largest surviving population of
Sumatran rhinoceros in Peninsular Malaysia is also found in the park. Others include the
"binturong" or bear cat and the white handed gibbon, the only ape species in the
region. |
