When you visit North Sulawesi, you can’t miss Tangkoko National Park, a flora and fauna conservation area on Mount Tangkoko, in the district of Bitung in North Sulawesi. The wildlife in the park can be observed roaming free in the forest….. Tarsiers, Black Macaque Monkeys, Maleo birds, Cuscus and the Hornbills.
Tarsiers are the smallest primates in the world, about the size of fist. Tangkoko is their last refuge and they are found only in Sulawesi. Tarsiers (tarsius spectrum) look particularly cute because of their big saucer eyes. Locals know them as tangkasi. The crested Black Macaques or Marcara Nigra is endemic to Sulawesi, usually come in large social groups, and can be seen playing, fighting or grooming themselves. The Cuscus, a pouched animal can be seen among the trees.
