Guess who?
Other than camera trapping, our biologists also use sign surveys to track the presence of wild animals in the forest. Sun bears have been known to tear open trees with their long, sharp claws and teeth in search of honey, leaving behind shattered tree trunks such as this one here.

Check out those claws! Sun bears have long curved claws, about 10cm in length, that help them tear tree trunks and climb trees in search of termites and honey. Even as the smallest bear species, sun bears can weigh anywhere between 27kg to 70kg and reach about 1 to 1.5 metres tall when standing upright, allowing them to move easily through the trees.

What comes to mind when you think of sharks? Ferocious and scary killers? Well that isn't always the case. According to research, your odds of being attacked by a shark are actually 1 in 11.5 million.
Behold the whale shark - a slow-moving shark that feeds on zooplankton! Despite its size, the whale shark is docile and does not pose significant danger to humans. Young whale sharks have even been known to play with divers gently. They are extremely rare in Malaysia and can sometimes be found in ...

What are #mangroves? Mangrove are amazing trees that can grow where no tree has grown before - in the inhospitable tidal zone between the land and the sea. They are able to survive in high levels of salt water and in "soil" or mud which is unstable and has low oxygen. Mangroves confer many benefits on humans living in their midst, performing major ecosystem services and protecting us from hurricanes and storm surges.
Help us raise funds to plant more mangroves in the Setiu Wetlands and stand a ...
