Sabah Trip (5) - Walk a lot

27/12/2009

Another day and was also the last day in Sabah

That day was a Sunday, and something interesting in the Gaya Street
The whole length of Gaya Street is closed to give way for the
Gaya Street morning market!!!
This is a must-go place in Sabah especially to get some souvenirs and we were so lucky to be in Sabah on the Sunday

You can get any kind of things here
there are batik sarong, plants, flowers, some craft things and even pets...

After lunch, we went to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park
there are two parts, the zoological and botanical
RM 10 entrance fee is needed for an adult

You can find many animals there including the elephants, sun bear, orang utan, tiger......
there are different feeding time for the animals
and we were so lucky to see what and how some of these animals eat

the left bottom is a picture of a sun bear eating a banana

the right bottom is a picture of an otter
reminds me of PB&J Otter^^
( not sure how many of u know about that, it is a cartoon show that my sis used to watched when she was young )



This is a 7 year old Orang Utan kid
He lives at another place cause he is too young to stay with the others
average life span for an Orang Utan is around 40-50 years old ^^

This is the only male Orang Utan they had
and if u notice clearly
his left upper limb is amputated
this is due to electrical shock (explained by a worker from there)

The Proboscis Monkey or also known as the Dutch Monkey
cause their nose is like those Dutch ppl
the left one with pointed nose is a female monkey
the right side monkey with the long nose is a male
a gang of them usually consist only 1 male monkey and the rest are female and kids

this is a plant along the pathway which we found in the botanical garden
so nice and special

This is the Periuk Kera
the pegawai there told us that he once happened to use this to cook rice and he said tat is nice to eat and smell nice too

After a long walk, is time to sit down and enjoy some show presented by the animals

The 7 year old Orang Utan swinging up in the air

A competition between an Orang Utan and a human
Orang Utan is the 1st one to peel off all the shell of a whole coconut
how strong they are

A competition between these 2 birds ( a type of parrot or what)
what are they doing? they are playing basket ball
they going to walk till the end of the table to get a small ball then walk back to put in the basket
hope tat u all can see that in the picture
(sorry for the lousy picture coz is taken by my hp camera which is only 2 mega pixels)



This is a type of Hornbill
It can fly while eating insects in the sky




and of course there are lots of interesting show by those animals
I did enjoyed a lot even though i'm a bit phobia towards animals =P

That was our last day in Sabah and we manage to make useful of that day with a lot of walking ^^

The next day early in the morning, we went back
boarding time is 7.05am
and it took around 2hrs 45 mins to reach Penang

So glad that I'm back to my home sweet home
looking forward for another wonderful trip which I can spend the time with my family
