of Lotongs and lontongs


i'm not going to write about lontong (a javanese dish), but it's about lotong or also known as silvered leaf monkey or silvery lutung according to wikipedia.











The Silvery Lutung (Trachypithecus cristatus), also known as the Silvered Leaf Monkey or the Silvery Langur, is an Old World monkey
It is orange-colored at birth, and develops its darker adult coat around three months.
living in coastal, mangrove, and riverine forests from Burma to Indochina and Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.
Since I live in Malaysia, near a mangrove habitat, I actually have them here (Bukit Malawati) and sometimes in my backyard, pooping and peeing and eating all the fruits behind my house. They are more scared of me than I am with them and I am scared of them;so imagine the level of their fear towards humans?? maybe none and maybe i'm just crapping because they do have the guts to come to my backyard and climb the roof and so on..

attempting a 1st attempt


This is my first attempt in writing something that is actually not utter crap (like my other blogs), but a bit intellectual (hopefully) and i dearly, so very hopeful that i can manage to do this, not only today but until I can..thanks to my bros, cz apparently they write very intellectual stuff...and if this blog is going to make it..i thank them for giving me the exposure of what i can write in a blog besides utter crap of crapness (here I go again)..

So, here goes my first attempt...it's not intellectually boring that will crap ur brain out but its a fun thing to know..i got to know this few weeks ago..so if you knew this already, please shut up.. :)

FAINTING GOATS

The name already says what it is about..
Apparently their muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled.
The characteristic is caused by a hereditary genetic disorder called myotonia congenita.
and they have this party for them every october..Every year in October, fainting goats are honored in Marshall County, Tennessee at the "Goats Music and More Festival".
Interesting and funny...Wait till u see the video in youtube..
