Chuan Teik Hin

Welcome to my nutshell

Penang, Malaysia

"The most wasted day of all is that in which we have not smiled"

A monkey came to town



The surrounding area at Lengkok Burma near Pulau Tikus, Penang was serene after a brief downpour.

Dusky leaf-monkey/Lotong Cengkong/Lotong Bercelak (Trachypithecus obscurus).



Suddenly, the rustling of leaves above revealed the presence of a dusky leaf monkey. Its habitat could have been destroyed and may have strayed from its troop due to scarcity of food. It was adorable at first and appeared docile.


So innocent and deep in thought!!



Then, it started monkeying around and became the mischievous monkey it was meant to be.





I think it is time for the wildlife department to find him a safer and better home.
