Ujung Kulon National Park is situated in the western point of the mainland of Java. A seven days trip to the national park was carried out in December 1996. Seven species of mammals, 35 species of birds, 2 species of reptiles and 102 species of plants were recorded during the fieldtrip. The mammals species could be observed during the fieldtrip were Black giant squirrel (_Ratufa bicolor_), Colugo (_Cynocephalus variegatus_), Large flying fox (_Pteropus vampyrus_), Long-tailed macaque, Javan rusa (_Cervus timorensis_), Barking deer (_Muntiacus muntjak_) and Banteng (_Bos javanicus_). Of the bird species, White-bellied sea-eagle (_Haliaeetus leucogaster_), White-collared kingfisher (_Halcyon chlorisi_), Southern pied hornbill (_Anthracoceros convexus_), White-rumped shama (_Copsychus malabaricus_) were among the most frequently observed birds species. Monitor lizard (_Varanus salvator_) and sea-snake could be observed in this area. A group of banteng consists of 23 individuals was observed grazing in Cigenter feeding ground. This feeding ground plays an important role for the herbivores. The invasion of the pioneer species threatens the existence of the feeding ground. |
