Today is the day, we are leaving for Malaysia! Our flights are soon to be up up up in the air. Our #AgEd2Malaysia students and teachers are not the only ones up in air today. A unique species soaring in Malaysia, known as the Malayan
-pheasant is that they prefer to live within it territorial ranges; which typically means they live near their place of hatching.peacock-pheasant. This animal may be hard to spot out because of its shy nature. A interesting fact about the Malayan peacock
Next, Malaysia’s Rhinoceros hornbill, known as a Hornbill. Eastern Malaysian citizen value this divine species as a symbol of traditional tribe beliefs. Representing the “Land of the Hornbill” is a great honor. The Hornbill has numerous other species native to East Malaysia wildlife such as the great hornbill, the Oriental pied hornbill, the black hornbill, and the Malabar pied hornbill.
Also found in the Peninsular of Malaysia is the Gaur species. This is a large cattle breed is found in the wild or on domesticated farms. Something interesting about the Gaur; is they are one of the largest bovine species on earth! If you were to see a Gaur in Malaysia they would have large horns, very massive muscling, and would be located in dense jungles, wild open land, or even along highways.
A project that has been very successful for the Malaysian government is and still working on restoring the country’s Leatherback Sea Turtle. A great place to see these turtles would be on the beach of Rantau Abang in the state of Terengganu. At this beach, it is common for Leatherback sea turtle’s to lay eggs.
Never the less, for all the people who love nature, this would be a great place to explore. I am excited to see new species that live near the equator in a hot and humid climate.
Still I learn.
Today US participants learn so many things about the three and fruit in malaysia and i am so excited to see their faces when they eat durian. Surprising me to know that some of them love durian just like i do. It just like love at first sight..hahahhaha and we learned about the Bugis ethnic in Johor
