A wonderful sighting... the rare Gaur stares at me (Dave) while I shoot video footage. |
I captured some stills from the footage. It is dazzling seeing this incredible animal move. |
Rippling muscles and its massive bulk are impressive to say the least. The biggest and strongest animals in the world are vegetarians. |
The Southern Serow is a goat-like grazer with short pointy horns. It generally likes thick jungle and is often seen in areas with limestone mountains and cliffs. This is rare. Click on the image to enlarge. |
The smallest bear in the world is the Sun Bear. This bear weights between 25 and 65 kilograms. though it looks like a big Teddy Bear, this is one of the most feared animals in SE Asia. It can attack without provocation. |
It's not uncommon to come upon a feeding raptor in Khao Sok. This Wallace's Hawk-eagle is eating another fairly large bird. We couldn't really tell which bird it was eating, but it had big blue legs. |
In a hollow tree in the middle of the reservoir, we came upon some bats. They were lined up one on top of another looking at us. |
The Asian Soft-shelled Turtle is much prized for it's meat, so it's not often that you see one. We've seen them on a few occasions. |
Few animals can rival the Slow Loris on the cuteness scale. |
Longtail Macaques are the most common monkey in the South. They travel in large troops with one Alpha male in charge. |
If you want to see incredible animals, let us treat you to a trip to Khao Sok National Park. This is the best place in the South to see animals.
