Rare and Unique Wildlife
Due to the steep and relatively inaccessible nature of its mountains, the park still supports a population of serow, a blackish goat-antelope now rare in Thailand. The park also supports populations of three species of primate: the dusky or spectacled langur, the crab-eating or long-tailed macaque, and the slow loris. Other mammals found are the barking deer, Malayan pangolin, fishing cat, common palm-civet, Malayan porcupine, Javan mongoose, Siamese hare, and grey-bellied squirrel. Especially interesting are the crab-eating macaques. Macaques normally eat fruits and other plants, complemented by insects and worms. Since there is very little of the typical food for this species in the flora of the park, especially on the islands, these monkeys have adapted their eating habits and developed the skill of catching crabs from the sea!
