RAFFLESIA★

I'm going to show you about the largest flower in the world!!

Have you seen this flower before?


This flower is called "Rafflesia"


If you go close to Rafflesia, It will move and eat you up!!



no..It's joking..but at first time I thought they could!LoL

Rafflesia is alsmost 1mater wide and weigh up to 9kg.

This flower is found in tropical reinforests of Malaysia,Singapore and Indonesia or Philippine.

This is rare and hard to see in bloom, because the bud takes for 9 months for growing and lasts for just a few days..

Local people nicknamed this flower"Corpse Flower" because it smells like rotting fish or meat..

It must be so smelly!!

I'd like to see this flower a little bit but it looks too scary to me..

My Favourite Animal 2★


I'm going to tell you another animal in Malaysia today.

Have you ever seen the monkey with very long nose?
looks like this?!

Yo!

They are called "Proboscis Monkey".

It is said that their big nose is used to attract females.

Their nose swell and turn red when they become excited or angry.

The female has a much smaller nose than the males, although it is still longer than other species of monkeys.

They are found only on the island of Borneo,Malaysia.

There are not so many ,approximately 3,000 Proboscis Monkeys exist.


I want to touch his nose..can't imagine how it feels like..maybe soft?


They usually live in Borneo’s mangrove forests, swamps, and even the lowland riparian forests.

which do you prefer, the orangutan or the proboscis monkey?:)

Hey Orangutan~♪

I'm going to show you my favourite animal in Malaysia today!

There are so many different types of animals and an endangered species live in Malaysian Jungle.

My Favourite one is...Orangutan!! Have you ever met them before?

The Orangutan are a species of great apes.They are only native to Malaysia and Indonesia.They are living in rainforests on the islands of Borneo. They spend most of their time in the trees.

Do you know what does Orangutan means??

The name "Orangutan" is from Malay. Orang means Person and Hutan means Forest so Orangutan means Person of the forest!!


They are intelligent and act like human babies..Orangutans and humans share about 97% of the same DNA! That's why they are similar to humans!!

I want to cuddle them..
