Notes : Tabin is probably the best site in Borneo to see relatively tame Bornean Gibbons Hylobates muelleri (Race:funereus). The Tabin Wildlife Resort is in the middle of a gibbon famly territory and they frequently feed in the trees next to the buildings. One of the commonest trees in the area is the fast growing Neolamarckia cadamba (Local name: Laran)According to the Tabin guides the fruit of Laran is greatly favoured by Gibbons whilst the leaves and immature fruit are the favourite food of Hoses\'s Langur (Leaf-monkey) which is also very common at Tabin.
