I had this nice encounter with this lone male one morning wandering in the forest around our little guesthouse, as he was quietly feeding in a tree. He saw me first, of course, and I located him because of the grunts he started making, but I didn't get too close, and he settled down more or less, though he was clearly pleased when I moved on...

  My pleasure! For some reason, some sources also cite a lutung as occurring in Taiwan, but that seems to be incorrect... Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
