Great wildlife, but aggressive macaques damaging the tourist industry
Sandakan Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC)的点评
点评:A great canopy walk for wildlife and an excellent night tour conducted by rangers within the park. We saw a great many animals, but when we returned the next morning hordes of aggressive Pig Tail Macaques completely ruined our bird and wildlife watching and were terrorizing some small children who were sobbing with fear. I would not want to go on that walk with fewer than the seven adults that I went with and I am used to wildlife. The park managers need to do something about controlling these animals because they will also be destroying the ecology of the park, as they kill both mammals and birds and are known to bite humans.
Macaques are in very large numbers with no natural predators and are an aggressive animal towards humans and other animals. If you want a tourist industry, cull these animals.
翻译:公园内有一条很棒的树冠步道,非常适合观赏野生动物;公园的护林员还会带领游客进行精彩的夜间游览。我们看到了很多动物。不过第二天早上返回时,成群结队、极具攻击性的长尾猕猴彻底破坏了我们的观鸟和野生动物观赏体验,它们还吓得一些小孩哭个不停。虽然我平时经常接触野生动物,但这次出行时同行的人中有7位成年人,即便如此我还是觉得,如果同行人数少于7人,我可不愿再走那条步道了。公园管理人员必须采取措施来控制这些动物的数量,因为它们会破坏公园的生态环境——它们既会捕杀哺乳动物和鸟类,还以会咬人著称。
猕猴的数量极为庞大,且没有天敌,它们对人类及其他动物都极具攻击性。如果希望发展旅游业,就必须减少这些动物的数量。
