Wild Siberut: Eleven Days, Four Primates, Seventy-Two Birds

All four Siberut primates seen in our exploration. Fom left to right bilou simakobu, bokoi and joja

With a ‘clean sweep’ of all four Siberut primates, my 11 days journey with Heru Fitriyadi to Siberut Island, Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra, is so astonishing. Joja the Siberut Langur and simakobu Pig-tailed Langur, seen in Southwest Siberut. In South Siberut, we saw bilou Kloss’s Gibbon. While in North Siberut, all four of them, include bokoi or Siberut Macaque, the hardest one.

To complete, a group of Long-tailed Macaque and five other mammals sum up to total of at least 9 mammal species in our list, and 72 species of birds seen. So, please follow the link to Swaraowa website (https://swaraowa.org/wild-siberut-eleven-days-four-primates-seventy-two-birds/) for the complete story.
