“buffet Party” At The Banteng Pasture

A group of Bornean bantengs including its calves were recently seen grazing at the pastures within the Tabin Wildlife Reserve. Classified as an endangered species and endemic to Sabah, unfortunately, there are only 320 individuals left – with the largest known Bornean banteng population found in Tabin.

The pasture was developed for banteng, where the grass species eaten by banteng are planted to improve the quality and quantity of food for the growth, breeding and survival of bantengs.

Artificial salt licks were also placed at the pastures, as part of habitat enrichment, to provide additional minerals, as well as supple grass for the bantengs to lie on. By doing this, the species will benefit from greater nutrition, adequate water, and space for safety and play.

Interestingly, we found that not only the elusive bantengs were seen enjoying the pastures, but other wildlife too!
