THE BUSHY-crested hornbill (Anorrhinus galeritus) diantara spp hornbill yg terdapat di Malaysia juga saya kira uncommon di Taman Negara Pahang. Ianya, kebiasaan bersosial dan berkumpulan sehingga 10-12 ekor, saya gelar burung koperasi ! Tidak spt pasangan Enggang-enggang yang lain dengan ‘setia pada yang satu’ akan memungkinkan spp ini membiak drp survival ability dalam habitat yang terancam adalah lebih tinggi. Mendiami kawasan tanah rendah dengan memakan serangga dan buah-buahan juga cicak. Adalah menjadi harapan Taman Negara Bird Group (TNBG) untuk menjadikan LEMBAH HELANG (Tembeling Hornbill Valley Malaysia reserve area) bersebelahan Taman Negara sebagai salah satu habitat & pemuliharaan Avian dan pemerhatian burung penting dalam negara. Dengan spp burung yang telah direkod melebihi 100 spp di Lembah Enggang telah membuktikan bahawa negara kita lebih bepotensi didalam Avitourism berbanding negara-negara lain…

beza jungle VS forest?

Taman Negara Pahang
Soalan biasa ditanya oleh guest yg datang ...
Apa beza jungle dgn forest? Secara ringkas ;

Jungle - skala kecil 20% kawasan, senang ditembusi, kepadatan tinggi pokok2 yang tinggi, lantai hutan yang senang ditembusi, hutan dgn sistem bio-diversiti yg komplek trmasuk sungai, keseluruhan kanopi, wildlife termasuk flora&fauna
Kawasan yg luas dengan proses alamiah secara semulajadi. Jungle termasuk pokok-pokok muda, lianas dan tumbuh-tumbuhan herba. Contoh, Amazon rainforest
Forest- Hutan ditepi hutan...kawasan yang luas, Hutan mengandungi banyak spesies pokok semua jenis. Walau bagaimanapun, tidak banyak spesies yang berbeza boleh didapati di dalam hutan yang sama.
Kedua-dua terdapat di Khatulistiwa & Tropika

"Every jungle is a forest but not every forest is a jungle - a jungle is a dense forest eg. the Amzaon rainforest "
