| At night, it is very easy to find mouse deer along the road, likely one of the densest populations of mouse deer in the country. While lesser mouse-deer is the dominant species in the island, with a bit of effort the very rare greater greater mouse-deer can also be found. Other mammals reported from the islands are; fishing cats, common treeshrews, Himalayan striped squirrels, dusky leaf monkeys, black giant squirrels, Sunda slow loris, Sunda colugos, grey-bellied squirrels, common palm civets, crab-eating macaques, wild boars and small flying foxes. There is also a big population of domestic cattles that has adapted to wildlife since decades ago. | |
