The wildlife of KL - August 19 , 2007

This weekend, I traveled 15 kilometres north of KL to the Batu caves, three enormous caverns that have become a place of worship after Hindu shrines were placed in the main cave. Every February, 1.5 million Hindus walk from the middle of KL to the Caves as part of the Thaipusam procession, but at all other times of the year, tourists of all backgrounds flock to the caves, mainly to watch the monkeys scramble up the limestone walls and snatch food from unsuspecting onlookers.





Right in the centre of KL is a one of the world's largest covered bird park, housing 150 different species.
