The Thrid Trail of Piai Cape (Tanjung) - Johor (Part 3)

The third trail doesn't has a name...while we stepped in, there were many monkeys waiting for us! Haha! So I called this trail : "Trail to monkey territory".

Monkeys along the trail

Sometimes this monkeys can be dangerous...they will grab whatever food you bring along. It's safe that you don't carry any with you.
By the time when we getting close to the group of monkeys, they all ran into the jungle...I believe they knew that we don't have any food for them! :)

Halfway of the trail, we heard very noisy monkeys screaming in the jungle, the whole group of them were having a War in the jungle!! I saw many of them (from the both group) jump and run very fast into the jungle...to help!

We were trying (very hard) to snap some pictures of the Fight, too bad after we seek high & low also couldn't spot any of them, but the noise was really Loud!

Observation tower at Monkey Territory

There was another Observation Tower at the end of this trail too...but I cannot figured out what was the tower for?!

The start point of the Mud Trail

On the right of the tower, there was a 'Mud Trail'. Wondering where the trail lead to, we stepped on it and walk...haha! it's only about 100 meter on the swamp area.

The end of the Mud Trail

There's nothing much about this trail...so we just walked back.
I saw s few groups of Taiwan tourist came from the different direction of us...this is really a good spot for tourist. But I think they came to witness the 'Tip' more than the nature over here...

Tourist

Saw some of the monkeys crawl out of the jungle after their war. We think these are the group who won the Fight! Don't you think so? :)
We just try to snap some of the pictures of the Victory group...

They even walk on trail and not scare of strangers...

Many photos been taken from this particular monkey (looks like their leader) before it jumped over to Attacked us!! Haha!

The monkey which attacked us!

We continue our session to the 'Bebaru Trail'...

Bluespotted Stingray at Tanjung Piai - Johor

"The bluespotted ribbontail ray, Taeniura lymma, is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, common throughout the coral reefs of the tropical Indian and western Pacific Oceans. A fairly small species not exceeding 35 cm (14 in) in width, this ray is easily recognizable by its oval pectoral fin disk, relatively short and thick tail with a deep fin fold underneath, and striking color pattern of many electric blue spots on a yellowish background with a pair of blue stripes on the tail." For more info, please click : Bluespotted ribbontail ray.

When we walked to the Jetty of Tanjung Piai, we met group of peoples fishing at along the pathway. Most the them caught a basket of Catfish, but...interesting was one of them caught a Bluespotted Stingray!

I did lift the Stingray. felt quite heavy...the weight at least few Kilogram! Wow! Cool!

They already chopped the tail when we were there, too bad I didn't see the 'Ribbontail'! The tail is the dangerous part of Stingray, the World Famous Mr Crocodile was killed by the tail!

The Jetty of Tanjung Piai (Cape) - Johor (Part 2)

The Jetty of Tanjung Piai trail is around 300-400 meter long. When we started the trail not too far from the main entrance, we saw a group of Nature and Wildlife Photographers setting up their gear and waiting to shoot on the Eagles around Tanjung Piai.

We were impressed by the Telephoto Lens they use...

After passing them, we met another group of peoples fishing along the pathway. What they caught for that day were mostly catfish....with one Blue Spotted Ribbontail Stingray (more than 1KG weight). I will blog about it after this post.

I love the walk to the Jetty, it's relax and especially cool sea breeze...we really enjoyed it!
We passed by the swamp area and noticed that the mangrove trees were planted nicely on it...


After about 15 minutes slow walk, we reached the Jetty. There were also group peoples fishing at one of the corner...
One of the Trademark of the Jetty is this Direction plate. Pictures below...

It was stand in the middle of the Jetty

The furthers is Buenos Aires, Argentina, where's about 16,430km away...but I don't know whether is accurate or not?! :)

We had a rest over here, chat with the fishing peoples. Noticed there was a couple having their Fun over the Jetty....then we walked back to continue other trail at the National Park.
