We had a great day at Bako National Park! We saw various types of mangrove trees and forest types, mudskippers, bearded pigs, fiddler crabs, red-crowned barbets (and a lot of other birds!), long-tailed macaques, proboscis monkeys!!!, orchids, and a whole host of carnivorous plants (pitcher plants!!!). We got a bit wet from a passing storm, but ate some local Malaysian food and had some interesting lectures (mangrove ecosystems and leeches!) to make up for it. Tomorrow we visit more mangroves and hopefully try to spot some Irawaddy dolphins before everyone starts studying for the midterm in 2 days!
