Javan leopards, like most other wild cat species, are solitary animals. However, Javan leopard cubs will stay with their mothers until they are ready to hunt on their own. During the courtship and mating season, pairs are often together for a period of time.
So how do they mark their range? Is there some kind of secret code that only leopards understand?
Have you ever seen a domestic cat spraying urine at a certain spot?
Javan leopards also do the same for marking their territory. Apart from urine, they also mark their territory with feces, scratches on tree trunks, and footprints on the ground. Sometimes leopards also rub their heads and necks against bushes or trees while exploring their territory. In this way, they transfer secretions from their cheek glands. This way, other individuals will notice their presence.
Maybe this leopard is marking its territory in this camera, eh?
Is rolling around like this also how they mark their territory? What do you think #sakiSINTAS?

Macan tutul sedunia!
Ada 9 subspesies macan tutul yang tersebar di Afrika dan Asia. Macan tutul jawa adalah salah satunya.
.
Leopard around the world!
There are 9 subspecies of leopards spread across Africa and Asia. The Javan leopard is one of them. Their coats vary in color. Those that live in grassland have lighter coats, and those that live in rainforests have darker coats. Leopards with melanism or black coats, are primarily found in the dark rainforest of Southeast Asia including Java Island. The darkness gives them advantages over their lighter brethren.
Do you know that lions are their closest relative?

Kecamatan Palupuah, Kabupaten Agam, Sumatera Barat, bulan Desember lalu dihebohkan dengan temuan tidak langsung harimau sumatera di area dekat pemukiman warga. Tim mitigasi yang dibentuk oleh BKSDA Sumatera Barat, bersama SINTAS, PAGARI, PR-HSD (pusat rehabilitasi), melakukan pengecekan dan investigasi lapangan serta pemasangan kamera intai di dekat lokasi kejadian.
.
Palupuah Subdistrict, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, last December was surprised by the tiger appearance based on direct sighting by villagers and several tiger pugmarks and clamarks near residential areas. The mitigation team formed by the West Sumatra BKSDA, together with SINTAS, PAGARI, PR-HSD (rehabilitation center), conducted ground check, investigation, patrols and also installed camera traps.
Vice-regent of Agam, Irwan Fikri also showed his support to the community and the mitigation team working in the field. One of the conflict mitigation efforts is aerial monitoring using a thermal drone.
In addition, the mitigation team together with the community also installed a box trap to rescue the tiger, conducted socialisation and deterrence with sounds.
On 3 January 2023, all activities were halted as no other evidence of tigers was detected. Even so, the Wali Nagari Pasia Laweh, Zul Arifin, still urges residents not to do activities alone in the field, do activities from 10:00 WIB to 16:00 WIB only, do not let livestock on the field out of sight, etc.

Ini dia si raja rimba dari hutan Pulau Jawa!
Menurutmu, apa perbedaan mereka dengan jaguar?

Leopards are the world's most versatile and stealthiest hunter. What leopards lack in size they make up in stealth. They often hunt silently and ambush their prey. Leopards are the most arboreal of the big cats. They sometimes drag their prey up into the tree, in order to get away from competing predators.
Leopards can be tough to tell apart from jaguars which live in South America, but the easiest way is by their spot or we can call it a rosette. Leopards don't have dots inside the rosette while jaguars do.

Apakah teman-teman tau ini satwa apa?
Ini adalah babi batang dari Sumatera. Kira-kira seperti apa ya mereka? yuk geser foto untuk cari tahu!
.
Is anyone familiar with this animal?
Yup, this is a sumatran hog badger. At glance it looks slightly like a pig, eh? The body's hair makes it look like a binturong. Hog badger found in the Sumatran mountain ranges from about 800 masl to the highest peaks.
The species is endemic to Sumatra. Body covered in yellowish to brown-grey hair with dark stripes over a pale snout. They have dark legs and a pale tail. This nocturnal creature has a muzzle that is elongated, somewhat similar to a pig’s snout. Even so, they are not closely related to pigs. Hog badgers are more closely related to otters and weasels. Forages on the ground, where it digs for invertebrates (e.g. worms and larvae), and possibly tubers and roots.

Mungkin #sakiSINTAS pernah ketemu hewan ini lalu lalang di sekitar semak atau pepohonan dekat rumah. Mereka adalah garangan jawa. Yuk cari tahu lebih tentang mereka!
Garangan memiliki warna rambut coklat kelabu hingga coklat kemerahan. Warna ini membuat garangan sulit terlihat saat sedang bersembunyi di sebuah lubang pohon atau lubang di tanah.

Perhaps #sakiSINTAS have met this animal wandering in your neighbourhood. They are Javan mongooses. Javanese people usually call it lenggarang or ganggarangan. Even though we call it "Javan mongoose", this type of mongoose also can be found on the island of Sumatra.
They can grow up to 410 mm and weigh about 1 kilogram. This animal has pointed snout and short legs. Do you agree that Javan mongoose and palm civet look alike?
Garangan has brown to reddish brown hair colour. This colour makes the mongoose can easily camouflage on the ground or tree hollow.

Sunda pangolin merupakan satu-satunya jenis trenggiling yang ada di Sumatera. Apabila merasa terancam, trenggiling akan menggulung badannya seperti bola. Meski demikian, pertahanan mereka tidak cukup untuk melindunginya dari perburuan manusia. Tahukah kamu kalau trenggiling adalah hewan yang paling banyak diperdagangkan di dunia?
.
The sunda pangolin is the only pangolin in Sumatra. Most of the body is covered in brown scales with scarce hair in between each scale. Long pointed muzzle and very small ears. This species has no teeth but has a very long sticky tongue instead. This tongue is used to get into the narrow nests of ants or termites, its favourite food. Primarily nocturnal and solitary.
They can roll up into a ball if threatened. However, this kind of defence is not quite enough to protect them from human poaching. Did you know that pangolins are the most trafficked animal in the world? Yups, illegal trafficking is one of the threats to this species, that led them to be classified as critically endangered by the IUCN. Until now, many people still believe that pangolin scales can fight illness, even though there is no scientific research to prove it.

Siapa sih yang tidak kenal dengan hewan yang satu ini? Sering berlalu lalang di dongeng atau lagu anak-anak, dan terkenal dengan sifatnya yang cerdik. Yups! Kancil!
.
Who doesn't know this creature? We can find it in many fables or nursery rhymes. Also they gained fame for their witty nature. Yup, mouse deer!
With their small posture and slight legs, they could move so agile and fast in the wild. These characters might be the reason why the mouse deer often becomes an actor in fables.
Body length of about 45-55 cm with a body weight of only 1.5 kg-2 kg. The male of javan mouse-deer has small fangs protruding from its mouth. They are solitary creatures and tend to be more active at night, although they are sometimes found in small groups. Javan mouse-deer are herbivorous animals, they eat grass, leaves, shoots, and ripe fruits.
In Mount Muria, the mouse-deer is one of the javan leopard preys.

Dari semua gajah di dunia, Gajah sumatera adalah yang paling terancam punah dan hanya bisa ditemukan di Pulau Sumatera. Apakah kalian pernah ketemu jejak gajah saat pergi ke hutan?
.
Among all of the elephants in the world, Sumatran elephants are the most critically endangered and only occur on the island of Sumatra. Morphologically, Sumatran elephants have relatively smaller body size, larger ears and longer tusks compared to the other subspecies. Male has tusks while the female does not. The species is found in both primary and secondary forest. They are generalist herbivores. They consume grasses, roots, small plants, twigs, and sometimes fruits . Sad thing is: by 2014, the population was estimated to become only 1724 elephants.

PAGARI, Patroli Anak Nagari!
Tanggal 19 Januari kemarin, tim PAGARI Salareh Aia dan Baringin berkumpul untuk rapat koordinasi bersama BKSDA Sumatera barat. Kira-kira, seperti apa sih kegiatan teman-teman di lapangan?
.
PAGARI, Community-based Patrol!
On January 19th, the PAGARI Salareh Aia and Baringin teams gathered for a coordination meeting with the West Sumatra Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA). What were the activities in the field like?
In 2022, the PAGARI Salareh Aia team conducted several Sumatran tiger conflict mitigation activities, including patrols and deterrents. They also conducted several education sessions to the surrounding community.
Similarly, the PAGARI Baringin team. The team has handled bear and tiger conflicts several times, patrolled the Maninjau Nature Reserve area in Nagari Baringin, and conducted education to several bird hunters. In addition, the team also participated in patrols with BKSDA.
PAGARI Salareh Aia was only formed on December 8, 2022, while PAGARI Baringin has been formed since October 2021. Through the formation of this PAGARI team, it is hoped that the community, as the front guard in human-wildlife conflict, can prevent potential conflicts and respond to reports/incidents of conflict accurately.
Keep up the good work, everyone!

Rangkong badak hidup di hutan pulau Sumatera, Kalimantan, dan Jawa. Mereka merupakan salah satu rangkong yang berukuran besar, yaitu 110-127 cm. Apakah #sakiSINTAS pernah mendengar suara rangkong terbang?
.
The rhinoceros hornbill lives in Sumatra, Borneo and Java. They are one of the largest hornbills, 110-127 cm long. The hornbill spends much of its time in the tree canopy with fruit as its main food source. Hornbills are generally known to be monogamous. The female hornbill will build a nest inside the tree trunk and cover it with mud to protect herself and their chicks. As long as they stay inside the nest, they completely depend upon the male for food supply. Its flapping wings create a remarkable whooshing sound just like a helicopter. Have #sakiSINTAS ever heard the sound of a flying hornbill?

Kira-kira ini hewan apa yang #SakiSINTAS? Yuk kenalan dengan musang belang!
Musang belang ini memiliki berat 1,5 - 4 kg saja loh, dengan panjang tubuh berkisar antara 45 - 65 cm. Mereka punya kemampuan melompat, memanjat, dan mengintai mangsa.

Can you guess what animal is this? Let us introduce you all to banded palm civets. Sounds familiar?
Banded palm civets have a weight between 1,5 - 5 kg and body length of 45 - 65 cm. Found frequently in both primary and secondary forests at various elevations, but also visits peat swamp, disturbed areas and plantations. The result from the camera trap showed that banded palm civets were active during the night (nocturnal). With great skills, it can leap, climb and stalk prey. Foraging predominantly on the ground, with a preference for insects and other invertebrates, but also feeding on small animals and domestic animals like chickens.

Beruang madu merupakan spesies beruang terkecil di dunia. Spesies ini mendiami hutan hujan Asia Tenggara. Beruang madu hidup di dalam hutan dan telah beradaptasi memanjat pohon untuk beristirahat. Fun fact! tahukah #SakiSINTAS bahwa beruang madu juga membuat sarang untuk beristirahat?

Sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is the smallest bear species in the world. They are named for the golden patches of fur on their chests, which some people say resemble a rising sun. This species inhabits the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Sun bear lives primarily in the forest and is adapted to climbing trees, where it likes to rest. It prefers lowland dipterocarp forests but are also found in peat swamps, freshwater swamps, karst hills, lower sub-montane forests, and occasionally plantations and gardens. Genuinely sun bears are omnivores. This bear feeds on fruit, termites, ants, insect larvae, honey and occasionally on plant parts. Thought to be largely solitary (but duos are occasionally camera trapped) and active both during the night and day. Sadly, the sun bear populations are threatened by rapid deforestation.
