Perth Zoo report(5): Asian Rainforest

I’ll write about Asian tropical animals today.

Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii). “Orangutan” means “forest man”. He is our relative.

Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are second-largest animals on the ground. Bull has great tusks, but female does not have them.

Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris smatrae) is the smallest tiger, but he is big because tigers are the biggest cats.

Sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is much smaller than Japanese black bear. I felt Bergmann’s rule.

Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is the largest lizard in the world. He is much bigger and massiver than other monitors. I wanted to see him.

Next, I’ll write about Reptile Encounter. See you next time!
